A metal oxide has the formula X_2O_3 . It can be reduced by hydrogen to give free metal and water. 0.1596g of metal oxide requires 6mg of hydrogen for complete reduction. The atomic mass of the metal (in amu) is :

A non-metal A which is the largest consituent of air, when heated with H_2 in 1:3 ratio in the presence of catalyst gives a gas B. on heating with O_2 it gives an oxide C. If this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air it gives an acid D which acts as a strong oxidising agent. Identify A,B,C and D.

"Equivalent mass" =("Molecular mass/Atomic mass" )/("n-factor") n-factor is very important in redox as well as non-redox reactions.With the help of n-factor we can predict the molar ratio of the reactant species specis taking part in reactions. The reciprocal of n-factor's ratio of the reactions is the molar ratio of the reactants. In general n-factor of acid/base is number of moles of H^(+)//OH^(-) furnished per mole of acid/base n-factor of a reactant is number of moles electrons lost or gained per mole of reactant. Example 1: (1)In acidic medium : KMnO_(4) (n=5)to Mn^(2+) (2) In neutral medium : KMnO_(4)(n=3) to Mn^(2+) (3) In basic medium : KMnO_(4)(n=1) to Mn^(6+) Example 2 : FeC_(2)O_(4)to Fe^(3+)+2CO_(2) Total number of moles e^(-) lost by 1 mole of FeC_(2)O_(4) =1+1xx2 implies 3 Consider the following reaction.
