1.	0.635 g of a metal gives on oxidation 0.795g g of its oxide. Calculate the equivalent mass of the metal.
Answer» Solution :Mass of the METAL oxide = 0.795g Mass of the metal= 0.635g Mass of oxygen= 0.795 - 0.635 = 0.16g 0.16 g of oxygen has COMBINED with 0.635 g of a metal `:.` 8g of oxygen will combine with ` (8 xx 0.635)/(0.16)=31.75g " equiv"^(-1)`
