The atomic mass of an element is a and the formula of its oxide is `M_(2)O_(n)`. Show that the equivalent mass of the element is `(a)/(n)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As atomic mass of M is a, 16x of O is attached with 2a of M, `therefore` 8x of O is attached with (2a/16x)`xx8` of M=a/x of M hence. Equivaelent weight of M is `a/n`.
