Q. Equivalent weight of an acid
A) Depends on the reaction involved
B) Depends upon the number of oxygen atoms present
C) Is always constant
D) None of the above
Explanation
(a)
Equivalent wt of acid
$= \frac{molecular\ weight\ of\ acid}{no.of\ H\ atoms\ replaced\ during\ reaction}$
$\therefore$ Equivalent weight of acid depends on the reaction involved because different number of acids are replaced during different reactions.
