Question

calculate the equivalent mass of CH3COOH

Answer 1

equivalent weight of acid = molecular mass/no.of replaceable H+

so for CH3COOH ...equivalent weight = molecular mass of CH3COOH/1

and for adipic acid...equivalent acid = molecular mass of HOOC(CH2)4COOH / 2

Hope this will help you....

Answer 2

CH3-COOH --------> CH3-COOH-+H+

so Acetic Acid contains one replaceable hydrogen atom so it's bascity is equal to 1

so equivalent mass=mol. weight =CH3-COOH/1
60/1
60. ANS
