An unknown element forms an oxide. What will be the equivalent weight of the element if the oxygen content is 20% by weight?

A

`16`

B

`32`

C

`8`

D

`64`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
20 g of oxygen combine with metal = 80 g
`:.` 8 g of oxygen will combine with metal `= (80)/(20)xx8=32g`
By definition, equivalent weight of metal = 32
