Specific heat of an element is 0.24 and equivalent weight is 9. Calculate atomic weight' of the element.

Explanation

Approx. atomic weight= `(6.4)/("Specific heat")=(6.4)/(0.24)=26.67`
Valency of the element
`=("Approx. atomic weight")/("Equivalent weight")=(26.67)/9=3`
Actual atomic weight of the element `= 3 xx 9 = 27 `
