Question

What is the equivalent weight for ammonium chloride?

Answer 1

Answer:

equivalent force of ammonium chloride is 35

Answer 2

Answer:

Ammonium chloride(NH4CI).

There is no straightforward answer to this question because equivalent mass depends on the reaction. There are two types of reactions where the equivalent mass is often employed: neutralization and redox.

If the question refers to a neutralization reaction, then we need to know how many H^+ or OH^- equivalents there are in one mole of the substance. In this case,

NH +4  → NH 3  + H +  

there’s only one H +  equivalent in the ammonium ion, so the equivalent mass is the same as the molar mass. If there were two H +  equivalents, such as in H 2 SO 4 , then the equivalent mass would be half of the molar mass because half a molar mass would contain a mole of H + . Get it?

If the question refers to a redox reaction, what’s the product?

Could be

NH +4  → NO −3  

where the oxidation state of nitrogen changes from -3 to +5, a change of 8, so the equivalent mass would be one-eighth of the molar mass because one-eighth of the molar mass would accept or donate one mole of electrons.

But other products are possible.

NH +4  → N 2 O

Here the oxidation state of nitrogen changes form -3 to +1, a change of 4, so the equivalent mass is one-fourth of the molar mass.

Are you starting to see a pattern?

The reason I can’t answer your question directly is because you didn’t specify which reaction the NH 4 Cl was participating in.

And i hope this helps.
