x gram of an element forms y gram of its chloride. Calculate the equivalent weight of the element.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mass of the chloride=y g and mass of element=xg
`therefore`Mass of chloine=(y-x)g
So, (y-x) g of chlorine combines with x g of the element.
`therefore35.5`g of chlorine combines with `(35.5xx x)/(y-x)`g of the element
`therefore`Equivalent weight of the element`=(35.5x)/(y-x)`
