Answer 2

The equivalent weight of hydrogen sulfide is 17. Option D is the correct answer.

• The equivalent weight of a compound is defined as the molecular weight of the compound divided by the valency of the main element. It is formulated as:

=> Equivalent weight = (Molecular Mass)/( Valency of the central element).

• Hydrogen sulfide is formulated as H2S. The central element is Sulfur and it is surrounded by two hydrogens.
• Sulfur belongs to group 16, The valency is given by the formula 18 - Group number. Hence its group number is 2.
• The equivalent weight is formulated as (Molecular weight of H2S)/(Valency of S).

=> Equivalent weight of H2S = (32+2)/2,

=> Equivalent weight of H2S = 17.

Hence, the equivalent weight of hydrogen sulfide is 17.
