Answer» ANSWER : 13.712 g mol-1 Given : Vapour density (VD) of metal chloride = 79 Metal in metal oxide = 33% To Find : Atomic weight of metal = ? Solution : Let the weight of metal oxide be 100 g. So the weight of metal will be 33 g and weight of oxygen will be 77. So equivalent weight (Ew) of metal \(= {weight\:of\:metal \over weight\:of\: oxygen } × 8\) \(={ 33\over77} × 8\) = 3.428 g We know that , Valency \(= {2 ×VD\over {E}_{w}+35.5}\) \( = {2×79 \over 3.428 + 35.5}\) \(= {158\over 38.928}\) = 4.05 ≈ 4 Now , Atomic weight = valency × Ew = 4 × 3.428 = 13.712 g mol-1 Hence The atomic weight of metal is 13.712 gmol-1 |
