  1. A 64amu
  2. B 32 amu
  3. C 60 amu
  4. D 50 amu
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 64amu

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to mole concept Mass of metal X in alloy = 12×20100 Mass of metal Y in alloy = 12-2.4 =9.6 g Moles of X = 2.440 Now, Number of atoms of X = 2.440×6.023×1023 = 3.61×1022 Number of atoms of…
