Element A (atomic mass 112) and element B (atomic mass 27) form chlorides . Solutoins of these chlorides are electrolysed separately and it is found that the same quantity of electricity is passed 5.6 gm of A deposited while only 0.9 gm of B was deposited . if the valency of B is 3 , the valency of A isA. 2B. 3C. 4D. `-2`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Equivalent mass of A = `("Atomic mass")/("valency") = (112)/(x)`
Equivalent mass of B = `("Atomic mass")/("valency") = (27)/(3) = 9`
`("Mass of A")/("Mass of B") = ("Equivalent mass of A")/("Equivalent mass of B") = (5.6)/(0.9)`
`therefore (112//x)/(9) = (5.6)/(0.9)`
`therefore x = (112 xx 0.9)/(9 xx 5.6) = 2`
Valency of A = 2
