PASSAGE-I : Earlier the concept of equivalent weights was very common and the concentrations of the solutions were expressed in terms of normalities. The convenience was that the substances react in the ratio of their gram equivalents. So, there was no need to write balanced equation to determine the amounts of the substances reacted. However, determination of equivalent weights posed difficulty in certain cases. Moreover, the equivalent weight of the same substance is not same in different reactions. For example, `KMnO_(4)` has different equivalent weight in the basic medium than in the acidic medium. Hence, now-a-days, mole concept is more common and the concentrations of the solutions are generally expressed in terms of molarities, though some other methods like molality, mole fraction etc. are also used.
The equivalent weight of Cu

A

will be same in CuO and `Cu_(2)O`

B

will be double in `Cu_(2)O` than in CuO

C

will be double in CuO than in `Cu_(2)O`

D

depends upon whether copper is pure or impure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In CuO, 8 parts by mass of oxygen combine with `(63.5)/(2)` parts by mass of copper
implies Eq. wt. = 31.75
In `Cu_(2)O`, 8 parts by mass of oxygen combine with 63.5 parts by mass of copper
implies Eq. wt. = 63.5
