  4. D 60
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 24

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Valency of metal, \(\begin{aligned} (n) & =\frac{2 \times \text { vapour density }}{\text { Equivalent weight of metal }+35.5} \\ & =\frac{2 \times 83}{6+35.5}=4 \end{aligned}\) The atomic weight of metal is equal to the product of the equivalent weight of metal and valency.…
