    1.5 g of \[{{104}^{o}}40\] was found to contain 0.9 g of Cd. Calculate the atomic weight of Cd.

    A)  \[{{103}^{o}}\]             

    B)  \[{{107}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{109}^{o}}28\]           

    D)  \[\underline{X}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     % of Cd in \[CdC{{l}_{2}}=\frac{0.9}{1.5}\times 100\] \[=60%\] Therefore, % of \[C{{l}_{2}}\] in \[CdC{{l}_{2}}=100-60=40%\] \[\because \]  40% part \[(C{{l}_{2}})\] has atomic weight \[=2\times 35.5=71.0\] \[\therefore \]60% part (Cd) has atomic weight \[=\frac{71.0\times 60}{40}\] \[=106.5\]
