Potassium selenate is isomorphous with potassium sulphate and contains `50.0%` of `Se`. The atomic weight of `Se` is a. `142`, b. `71`, c. `47.33`, d. `284`A. Oxidation state of Se in the given compound is `+6`B. Atomic weight of Se is `118.6`C. Equivalent weight of potassium selenate is `130.3`D. All the above |

Answer» Correct Answer - D Potassium selenate is isomorphous to `K_(2)SO_(4)` and thus its molecular formula is `K_(2)SeO_(4)`. Now molecular weight of `K_(2)SeO_(4)` `= (39 xx 2 +a +4 xx 16) = (142 +a)` where a is atomic weight of Se `(142 +a)g K_(2)SeO_(4)` has `Se = ag` `100g K_(2)SeO_(4)` has `Se = (a xx 100)/(142 +a)` `:. %` of `Se = 45.52` `= 45.52 a = 118.6` Also equivalents of `K_(2)SeO_(4) =` `("Mol.wt")/(2) = (2 xx 39 +118.6 +64)/(2) = 130.1` |
