Question

sulphur forms two chlorides S2Cl2 and SCl2.the equivalent mass of sulphur in SCl2 is 16.the equivalent weight of sulphur in S2Cl2 is?

Answer 1

Answer: The equivalent weight of sulfur in $S_2Cl_2$ is 32 grams.

Explanation:

Equivalent weight of a substance is defined as the mass of a substance expressed in grams, which combines with 8 grams of oxygen or 1 gram of hydrogen or 35.5 grams of chlorine.

We are given that:

Equivalent mass of sulfur in $SCl_2$ is 16, which means that 16 grams of sulfur is combining with 35.5 grams of chlorine.

In $S_2Cl_2$ molecule,

71 grams of chlorine is combining with 64 grams of sulfur.

So, 35.5 grams of chlorine will combine with = $\frac{64}{71}\times 35.5=32grams$ of sulfur.

Hence, the equivalent weight of sulfur in $S_2Cl_2$ is 32 grams.

Answer 2

Answer:the equivalent weight of sulphur is 32grams

Explanation:as here 64g of sulphur is combining with 71g of chlorine then equivalent weight of sulphur is =(64/71)*35.5=32g

Thus the answer would be 32g
