A metal (M) forms a hydrated sulphate, isomorphous with ZnSO₄·7H₂O. If the sulphate contains 20% metal, by weight, which of the following is/are correct for the metal?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
C
Solution:

Isomorphous with ZnSO₄·7H₂O means the formula is MSO₄·7H₂O with M bivalent. Then A/(A + 96 + 126) = 0.20 A = 0.25 x 222 A = 55.5 ≈ 56, so the metal is iron (A = 56, E = 28), not magnesium (A = 24 would give only 9.8% metal). The only correct statement is (c), the metal is bivalent.
