Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equivalent weight of an element will be its weight that reacts with 8 g of oxygen. Thus, since 12 g of that element reacts with 32 g of oxygen, the mass of that element that will react with 8 g of oxygen will be \(: \frac{12 \times 8}{32}=3 \mathrm{~g}\)
