An oxide XO
2 has a vapour density of 32. What is the atomic mass of X?
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Molecular mass = vapour density X
2
Mm of XO
2 = x + 16(2) = x + 32
vapour density = 32
∴ x + 32 = 32 × 2
x + 32 = 64
x = 64 - 32
x = 32
∴ the relative molecular mass of X is 32
Relative molecular mass = vapour density × 2
