The eqivalent weight of a metal in different compounds is 18.6 and 28. Atomic mass of the metal would be

Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

Equivalent weight of  metal in first compound is 18.6.                                                         
 Equivalent weight of metal in second compound is 28.                                                     
 The ratio of its equivalent weight in both the  compounds is 18.6   :  28.       
Thus the approximate ration is  0.5 : 1
Converting into whole number ratio, we get 1:2
i.e valency can be equal to 2

so atomic weight of metal is equal to equivalent weight ×valency. then atomic weight =18.6×2=37.2
