Two oxides of an element contain 57.1% and 72.7% of oxygen. If the first oxide is MO the second is : (1) M2O (2) MO2 (3) M2O2 (4) M2O3

Answer»

Correct option (2) MO2

Explanation:

Element (M)Oxygen 
1st Oxide (MO)42.9 g57.1 g
2nd Oxide (MxOy)42.9 g113.45 g

The ratio of oxygen which combine with fixed mass of Element (M) is 56.1 g : 113.45g i.e 1 : 2

Therefore the formula of two oxides of element is MO & MO2 (2nd Oxide)
