Equivalent Mass The eqivalent mass of a substance is defined as the number of parts by mass of it which combine with or displace 1.0078 parts by mass of hydrogen, 8 parts by mass of oxygen and 35.5 parts by mass of chlorine. The equivalent mass of a substance expressed in grams is called gram equivalent mass. The equivalent mass of a substance is not constant. It depends upon the reaction in which the substance is participating. A compound may have different equivalent mass in different chemical reactions and under different experimental conditions. (a) Equivalent mass of an acid It is the mass of an acid in grams which contains 1.0078 g of replaceable H^(+) ions or it is mass of acid which contains one mole of replaceable H^(+) ions. It may be calculated as : Equivalent mass of acid= ("Molecular mass of acid")/("Basicityof acid ") Basicity of acid = Number of replaceable hydrogen atoms present in one molecule of acid (b) Equivalent mass of a base It is the mass of the base which contains one mole of replaceable OH^(-) ions in molecules. Equivalent mass of base= ("Molecular mass of acid ")/("Acidity of acid") Acidity of base= Number of replaceable OH^(-) ions present in one molecule of the base Equivalent mass of an oxidising agent (a) Electron concept: Equivalent mass of oxidising agent = ("Molecular mass of oxidising agent")/("Number of electrons gained by one molecule") (b) Oxidation number concept: Equivalent mass of oxidising agent= ("Molecular mass of oxidising agent")/("Total change in oxidation number per molecule of oxidising agent") Equivalent mass of Fe_(0.9)O in reaction with acidic K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) is : (M= Molar mass)
