What are the equivalent volumes of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equivalent volume is the volume occupied by one equivalent of any gas at NTP.
We know, 1 mole of molecules of any gas at NTP occupies 22-4 litres and 1 mole of atoms of any diatomic gas at NTP occupies 11-2 litres.
Now,
1 mole of H contains 1 equivalent of H,
1 mole of O contains 2 equivalents of O,
1 mole of N contains 3 equivalents of N.
Thus at NTP,
1 equivalent of H occupies 11.2 litres,
1 equivalent of O occupies `(11.2)/( 2) = 5.6` litres,
1 equivalent of N occupies `(11.2)/( 3) = 3.73` litres.
