Question

.38 Define equivalent weight. How would you calculate
the equivalent weight of an oxidant ? Explain with an
example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

For compounds that function as oxidizing or reducing agents (compounds that act as acceptors or donors of electrons), the equivalent weight is the gram molecular weight divided by the number of electrons lost or gained by each molecule; e.g., potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in acid solution, 158.038/5 g; potassium .
