Question

How to find equivalent weight in redox reaction?. My sir gave me a formula: -. Equivalent weight,. E=. Molecular weight of compound. ---------------------------------------------------. Change in oxidation number of that compound in redox reaction

Answer 1

The equivalent weight in redox reaction is equal to the molecular weight of a compound divided by the number of electrons gained or lost during reaction. In this case, the electrons gained or lost is determined by diving the redox rn into two half reactions and balance using H+ and H2O if necessary.
