Answer 1

Hey,

Equivalent mass=atomic mass/energy

Valency of N in N2O5 is +5.

Therefore equivalent mass of N=14/5=2.8

Answer 2

Answer: The equivalent mass of nitrogen in the given compound is 2.8 g/eq.

Explanation:

Equivalent mass of an atom in a given compound is defined as the ratio of its molecular mass and the charge of atom in that compound.

The formula used to calculate equivalent mass is:

$\text{Equivalent mass of nitrogen}=\frac{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Charge of nitrogen in }N_2O_5}$

In the given compound having chemical formula $N_2O_5$, the charge on nitrogen is:

$2x+5(-2)=0\\x=+5$

Molar mass of nitrogen = 14 u

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Equivalent mass of nitrogen}=\frac{14}{5}=2.8g/eq.$

Hence, the equivalent mass of nitrogen in the given compound is 2.8 g/eq.
