    The equivalent weight of a metal is 9 and vapour density of its chloride is 59.25. The atomic weight of metal is

    A)  23.9            

    B)  27.3

    C)  36.3            

    D)  48.3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, equivalent weight of metal == 9 Vapour density of metal chloride = 59.25 \[\therefore \] Molecular weight of metal chloride \[=2\times VD=2\times 59.25=118.50\] \[\therefore \] Valency of metal \[=\frac{mol.\text{ }wt.\text{ }of\text{ }metal\text{ }chloride}{eq.wt.\text{ }of\text{ }metal\text{ }+\text{ }35.5}\] Valency of metal \[=\frac{118.5}{9+35.5}=\frac{118.5}{44.5}=2.66\] Therefore, atomic weight of the metal = equivalent weight x valency \[=9\times 2.66=23.9\]
