The equivalent weight of a certain trivalent element is \(20\). Molecular weight of its oxide is

  1. A \(152\)
  2. B \(56\)
  3. C \(168\)
  4. D \(68\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(168\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equivalent weight \(=\frac{\text { molecular weight }}{\text { valence factor }}\) \(\therefore\) Molecular weight \(=20 \times 3=60\) It's oxide is \(\mathrm{M}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) and molecular weight \[ =2 \times 60+16 \times 3=120+48=168 \]
