1 g of hydrogen is found to combine with 80g of bromine and 1g of calcium combines with 4 g of bromine. Equivalent weight of calcium is

Options

A. 16
B. 20
C. 40
D. 80

Explanation

1g `H_(2)` combines with `Br_(2)` = 80g
Equivalent weight of `Br_(2)` = 80
4g of `Br_(2)` combine with = 1g Ca
`therefore` 80 g of `Br_(2)` will combine with (`=1 xx 80)/4 = 20g Ca
