Question

given that the oxidation number of sulphur is minus 2 then the equivalent weight of sulphur is

Answer 1

Equivalent weight of an atom

= atomic weight of an atom ÷ oxidation number

Therefore here they have given:

Oxidation number of sulphur= -2

That is

S + 2 electrons -> S^-2

Therefore equivalent weight= 32 ÷2

= 16

I hope it is fine

Answer 2

Answer:16

Explanation:

Equivalent weight of an atom

= atomic weight of an atom ÷ oxidation number

Therefore here they have given:

Oxidation number of sulphur= -2

That is

S + 2 electrons -> S^-2

Therefore equivalent weight= 32 ÷2

= 16
