$32$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the total weight of the oxide be $100 \ g$. Since the oxide contains $20 \%$ oxygen by weight,the weight of oxygen is $20 \ g$ and the weight of the element is $100 - 20 = 80 \ g$. The equivalent weight of oxygen is $8 \ g$. According to the law of equivalence,the number of gram equivalents of the element must be equal to the number of gram equivalents of oxygen. $\frac{	ext{Weight of element}}{	ext{Equivalent weight of element}} = \frac{	ext{Weight of oxygen}}{	ext{Equivalent weight of oxygen}}$ $\frac{80}{E} = \frac{20}{8}$ $E = \frac{80 	imes 8}{20} = 32$ Therefore,the equivalent weight of the element is $32$.

An oxide of an element contains $20 \%$ oxygen by weight. Calculate the equivalent weight of the element.
