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`.
