Question

equivalent weight of silver nitrate

Answer 1

Ag⁺ + NO³⁻ → AgNO₃
Equivalent weight = Molecular weight / Total charge on +ve ion
= 170/1
= 170

Answer 2

The equivalent weight of silver nitrate is 170.

Explanation:

The molecular formula for silver nitrate is $AgNO_3$. If we have a look at the chemical equation of formation of the silver nitrate is

$\mathrm{Ag}^{+}+\mathrm{NO}^{3-} \rightarrow \mathrm{AgNO}_{3}$

We know that, the formula for chemical equation is division of Molecular weight and Total charge on positive on.

For $AgNO_3$, Molar mass of Silver is = 108

Molar mass of Nitrogen is = 14

Molar mass of Oxygen is =16

$\Rightarrow 16 \times 3 = 48$

Then,

$AgNO_3 =108+14+48=170$

Therefore, Equivalent weight of $AgNO_3$ is given below:

$\Rightarrow \frac{170}{1} = 170$
