1.	2g of a base whose equivalent wt is40 react with 3g of an acid the eq.wt of the acid is?
Answer» Explanation:1. For a reaction : aA + bB → cCGram equivalence of A = Gram equivalence of B = Gram equivalence of C2. So, Gram equivalence of Acid = Gram equivalence of Base Given massEquivalent massof Acid = Given massEquivalent massof base3x=240x= 3×402=60________________________No. of gram EQUIVALENTS of BASE = No. of gram equivalents of ACID. Therefore, 2/40 = 3/X x = 3.20 x = 60. Hence the equivalent weight of the substance is 60.
