Suppose the elements X and Y combine to form two compounds XY2 and X3Y2. When 0.1 mole of XY2 weights 10 g and 0.05 mole of X3Y2 weights 9 g, the atomic weights of X and Y are

30, 20
40, 30
60, 40
20, 30
Explanation:

For XY2     n = $\dfrac{w}{M}$

$0.1 = \dfrac{10}{X + 2Y}$

X + 2Y = 100     .......(1)

For X 3Y2     n = $\dfrac{w}{M}$

$0.05 = \dfrac{9}{3X + 2Y}$

3X + 2Y = 180     .......(2)

Form (1) and (2)

2X = 80

X = 40 and

2Y = 100 – 40 = 60

Y = 30
