Question

The oxide of a metal contains 52.91% of the metal. If the formula of the metal oxide is M2O3, then what is the atomic mass of the metal?

Options

A.8.99
B.26.96
C.17.97
D.53.93

Solution

neq metal = neq oxygen

Or $\frac{52.91}{E} = \frac{47.09}{8} \Rightarrow E = 8.99$

∴ Atomic mass of metal = $8.99 \times 3 = 26.97$
