Suppose the elements 
and 
combine to form two compounds 
and 
when 0.1 mole of 
weighs 
and 0.05 mole of 
weighs 
, the atomic weights of 
and 
are respectively
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
: Let 
and 
be the atomic weights of 
and 
. Given, 0.1 mole of 
weighs 
.
(i)
0.05 mole of 
weighs 
.
(ii)
From (i), 
Substituting the value of 
in eq. (ii),
Hence, the atomic weights of 
and 
are 40 and 30 respectively.
