A metal M of equivalent mass E forms an ...

A metal M of equivalent mass E forms an oxide of molecular formula `M_(x)O_(y)`. The atomic mass of the metal is given by the correct equation:

A

2E(x/y)

B

xyE

C

E/y

D

y/E

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let atomic mass of metal M is 'a'
Mass of metal =`axx x`
Mass of oxygen=`16xxy`
Equivalent mass of element`=("Mass of element")/("Mass of oxygen")xx8`
`E=(ax)/(16y)xx8`
`a=2E((y)/(x))`
