Question

If equivalent weight of Sin SO, is then equivale
weight of S in So, is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent weight of S in SO₂  = 8

So 8 gms of S reacts with 8 gms of O

There are 2*16=32 gms of O in SO₂.  

Hence, atomic mass of S = 8*32/8=32.

In SO₃ , 32 gms of S reacts with 3*16=48 gms of O.  

Hence,

equivalent mass of S in SO₃

= 32 /48 * 8

= 16/3 gm.

Also valency of S in SO₃ = 6

so  

32/6

=16/3
