A metal X from two oxide A and B .3.oogm of A and B contain 0.72 and 1.16g of oxygen respectively. calculate the maases of metal in gm which combine with one gram of oxygen in each case ​

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to determine the mass of metal X. We can do that by interpreting the first and second statement mathematically.

Metal X can form 2 oxides (A and B).

A + B = 3g

The mass of oxygen in A is 0.72g and the mass of oxygen in B is 1.16g.

The mass of metal X in the two oxides will be the same because it's the same metal.

Thus, we represent the mass of the metal in the two oxides as 2X.

2X + 0.72 + 1.16 = 3

2X + 1.88 = 3

2X = 3 - 1.88

2X = 1.12

X = 0.56

Thus, 0.56 g of the metal combines with 0.72g of oxygen in A and 1.16 g of oxygen in B.

Thus, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in A is

0.56g ⇒ 0.72g

X ⇒ 1

X = 1 × 0.56/0.72

X = 0.78 g

Hence, 0.78g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for A

Also, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in B is

0.56g ⇒ 1.16g

X ⇒ 1g

X = 1×0.56/1.16

X = 0.48 g

Thus, 0.48g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for B

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
