Answer:
To calculate the equivalent mass of a base, simply divide the molar mass of the base by the number of hydroxyl groups. Take, for example, calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂. A few simple calculations yield an equivalent of 37g/mol. To find the equivalent of an acid, divide the acid's molar mass by the number of protons.
