Options:
A) 19.5
B) 35.5
C) 39.0
D) 78.0
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
wt. of metallic chloride $ =74.5 $
wt. of chlorine = 35.5
$ \therefore $ wt. of metal $ =74.5-35.5=39 $
Equivalent weight of metal $ =\frac{\text{weight of metal}}{\text{weight of chlorine}}\times 35.5 $
$ =\frac{39}{35.5}\times 35.5=39 $
