JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 27th June Morning Shift - No. 18)
Two elements A and B which form 0.15 moles of A2B and AB3 type compounds. If both A2B and AB3 weigh equally, then the atomic weight of A is _____________ times of atomic weight of B.
Answer
2
Explanation
Let atomic weight of A = x
and atomic weight of B = y
$$\therefore$$ Molar mass of A2B = 2x + y
and molar mass of AB3 = x + 3y
Now, weight of 0.15 moles of A2B = (2x + y) 0.15
and weight of 0.15 moles of AB3 = (x + 3y) 0.15
Given, weight of 0.15 moles of A2B and AB3 are equal.
$$\therefore$$ (2x + y)0.15 = (x + 3y)0.15
$$\Rightarrow$$ x = 2y
$$ \Rightarrow {x \over y} = 2$$
$$\therefore$$ Atomic weight of A is 2 times of atomic weight of B.
