    1.520 g of the hydroxide of a metal on ignition gave 0.995 g of oxide. The equivalent weight of metal is

    A)  1.520                   

    B)  0.995 

    C)  19.00                   

    D)  9.00

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

              \[\frac{\text{Wt}\text{. of metal hydroxide}}{\text{Wt}\text{. of metal oxide}}\] \[\frac{\text{Eq}\text{. wt}\text{.}\,\,\text{of metal}+\text{Eq}\text{.}\,\text{wt}\text{. of}\,O{{H}^{-}}}{\text{Eq}\text{. wt}\text{. of metal}+\text{Eq}\text{. wt}\text{.}\,\,\text{of}\,O_{2}^{2-}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1.520}{0.995}=\frac{E+17}{E+8}\] On solving,    E = 9.0
