Sulphur forms the chlorides `S_(2)Cl_(2)` and `SCl_(2)`. The equivalent mass of sulphur in `SCl_(2)` is

Options

A. `8 g // mol`
B. `16 g // mol`
C. `64.8 g // mol`
D. `32 g // mol`

Answer

B

Explanation

The atomic weight of sulphur = 32
In `SCl_(2)` valency of sulphur =2
So equivalent mass of sulphur `=(32)/(2)=16 g // mol`
