A certain compound has the molecular formula `M_4O_6` . If 10.0 g of the compound contains 5.62 g of M, then the atomic mass of M is

A

32 amu

B

37 amu

C

42 amu

D

98 amu

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`("Molecular Weight of" X_(4) O_(6))/("Atomic Weight of" 4 X) = ("Weight of" X_(4) O_(6))/("Weight of" X)`
`(4x + 96)/(4x) = (10)/(5.72)`
`x = 32`
