A current is passed through two cells connected in series. The first cell contians `X(NO_(2))_(2)`(aq). The relative atomic masses of X and Y are in the ratio 1:2. What is the ratio of the liberated mass of X to that of Y ?

A

`3:2`

B

`1:2`

C

`1:2`

D

`3:3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) The oxidation states of X and Y in their respective nitrates are 3 and 2 respectively. The equivalent masses of the metals can be calculated by dividing the respective atomic masses with oxidation states or valences. These are in the ratio `1//3 : 2//2` or `1//3 : 1` or `1:3`
