1.	0.456 g of a metal gives 0.606 g of its chloride. Calculate the equivalent mass of the metal.
Answer» Solution :Mass of the metal = `W_i = 0.456 G` Mass of the metal chloride =` W_2 =0.606 g` `therefore ` Mass of chloride `= W_2 - W_1` `=0.606 - 0.456 = 0.15 g` 0.15 g of chloride COMBINE with 0.456g of metal. `therefore ` 35.46 g of chloride will combine with `(0.456)/(0.15) xx 35.46= 107.79g eq^(-1)`.
