We know that, Then, = 110.87 g mol−1 = 196.15 g mol−1 Now, we have the molar masses of AB2 and AB4 as 110.87 g mol−1 and 196.15 g mol−1 respectively. Let the atomic masses of A and B be x and y respectively. Now, we can write: Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we have 2y...

We know that, Then, = 110.87 g mol−1 = 196.15 g mol−1 Now, we have the molar masses of AB2 and AB4 as 110.87 g mol−1 and 196.15 g mol−1 respectively. Let the atomic masses of A and B be x and y respectively. Now, we can write: Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we have 2y = 85.28 ⇒ y = 42.64 Putting the value of ‘y’ in equation (1), we have x + 2 × 42.64 = 110.87 ⇒ x = 25.59 Hence, the atomic masses of A and B are 25.59 u and 42.64 u respectively. read less
