Equivalent weight = molecular weight/ basicity
citric acid could be anyhydrous as well as monohydrous, and so the molecular weight varies accordingly.
anhydrous : C6H8O7 = 192.12 mg/mol
hydrous: C6H8O7.H2O = 210 mg/mol
also, cirtic acid is a weak acid and doesn't oxidize completely when added to a base; it donates only a few (about 3) protons (H+). This is the basicity of the acid.
Therefore, equivalent weight of citric acid= 210/3= 70 (when it is monohydrous)
or 192.12/3=64.4 ( when it is anyhydrous).
