Answer:
Equivalent weight of Gypsum will be 86 grams per equivalent.
Explanation:
As the molecular formula of gypsum is CaSO4 . 1/2 H20
Formula :
Equivalent weight = Molecular mass / nf
where nf = total no. of charges
As it has 1 atom of calcium and 1 ion of sulfate, it will have nf of 2.
By putting the values in above formula:
Equivalent weight = 172 / 2
Equivalent weight = 86 grams per equivalent
So,
Equivalent weight of Gypsum will be 86 grams per equivalent.
