Carbon forms two oxides which have different compositions. The equivalent mass of which remains constant?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
: The equivalent mass of a substance have different value under different conditions, it varies with valency. Let us consider the two oxides of carbon viz. 
and 
. In 
parts of carbon combine with 16 parts of oxygen thus equivalent mass of carbon in 
is 
. In 
parts of carbon combine with 32 parts of oxygen, thus the equivalent mass of carbon in this oxide is
