1.	Carbon forms two oxides, namely carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The equivalent mass of which element remains constant?
Answer» Carbon Oxygen Both carbon and oxygen Neither carbon nor oxygen Solution :REACTION 1:`C+O_2to 2CO` `2xx12` G carbon COMBINE with 32G of oxygen. Hence, EQUIVALENT mass of carbon `=(2xx12)/(32)xx2=6` Reaction 2: `C + O_2 to CO_2` 12 g carbon combine with 32 g of oxygen. Hence, Equivalent mass of carbon `=(12)/(32)xx8=3`
