the chloride of a metal M contains 47.25% of metal 1.0 gram of metal would be displaced from a compound by 0.88 gram of another metal N . find the equivalent weight of M and n.

The equivalent weight of M is approximately 31.8 g

The equivalent weight of N is approximately 27.98 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The percentage of the the metal M in in the chloride = 47.25%

Where by the chemical formula for the metal chloride is MClₓ, we have;

47.25% of the mass of MClₓ = Mass of M = W

Therefore, we have;

0.4725 × (W +  35.5·x) = W

0.4725·W + 0.4725×35.5×x = W

W - 0.4725·W  = 16.77·x

0.5275·W = 16.77·x

W/x = 16.77/0.5275 = 31.799 = The equivalent weight of M

The equivalent weight of M = 31.799 ≈ 31.8 g

Given that 1 gram of M is displaced by 0.88 gram of N, then the equivalent weight of N that will displace 31.799 = 0.88 × 31.799 ≈ 27.98 g

The equivalent weight of N = 27.98 g.

i believe you are right for all except the 3rd ( look at sqdancefan his answer is much better)

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.
