1.	0.456 g of a metal gives 0.606 g of its chloride. Calculate the equivalent mass of the metal.
Answer» Mass of the metal = W₁ = 0.456 g. Mass of the metal chloride = W₂ = 0.606 g. ∴Mass of chlorine = W₂ – W₁ = 0.606 – 0.456 = 0.15 g 0.15 g of chlorine combine with 0.456 g of metal. ∴ 35.46 g of chlorine will combine with 0.456/0.15 x 35.46 = 107.79 g eq^-1

0.456 g of a metal gives 0.606 g of its chloride. Calculate the equivalent mass of the metal.

Answer»

Mass of the metal = W₁ = 0.456 g.

Mass of the metal chloride = W₂ = 0.606 g.

∴Mass of chlorine = W₂ – W₁ = 0.606 – 0.456 = 0.15 g

0.15 g of chlorine combine with 0.456 g of metal.

∴ 35.46 g of chlorine will combine with 0.456/0.15 x 35.46 = 107.79 g eq^-1
