How to calculate equivalent weight?

Shveta Dua · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,
The equivalent weight is equal to the molecular weight divided
by the valence

For example: The equivalent weight of H2SO4
is calculated as =Molecular weight/valence

The valence is valence refers to how many hydrogen atoms could
bond with the compound
Here Valence is 2 since there are 2 H in
H2SO4
Thus Equivalent weight = 98/2
= 49 5
Hope it is clear to you
Best Wishes!
