QJEEM22Ch07f2: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch07f2 Solution: Two elements A and B which form 0.15 moles of A 2 B and AB 3…
Two elements A and B which form 0.15 moles of A2B and AB3 type compounds. If both A2B and AB3 weigh equally, then the atomic weight of A is _____________ times of atomic weight of B.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Let atomic weight of A = x
and atomic weight of B = y
Molar mass of A2B = 2x + y
and molar mass of AB3 = x + 3y
Now, weight of 0.15 moles of A2B = (2x + y) 0.15
and weight of 0.15 moles of AB3 = (x + 3y) 0.15
Given, weight of 0.15 moles of A2B and AB3 are equal.
(2x + y)0.15 = (x + 3y)0.15
x = 2y
Atomic weight of A is 2 times of atomic weight of B.
