MCQ
The oxide of a metal has $32\%$ oxygen. Its equivalent weight would be
  • A
    $34$
  • B
    $32$
  • $17$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$17$
c
(c) Let weight of metal oxide = $100\,gm$

Weight of oxygen = $32\,gm$

$\therefore $ weight of metal $ = 100 - 32 = 68\,gm$

Equivalent weight of oxide $ = \frac{{{\rm{wt}}{\rm{. of metal}}}}{{{\rm{wt}}{\rm{. of oxygen}}}} \times 8$ $ = \frac{{68}}{{32}} \times 8 = 17$.
