Question

How many equivalents are in a solution that contains 0.25 moles Mg2+ and 0.50 moles Cl–?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mg²⁺ is divalent , hence

Molecular weight / 2 = equivalent weight .

.25 moles = 2 x .25 equivalents = .5 equivalents .

Cl⁻ is monovalent so

molecular weight = equivalent weight

.50 mole = .50 equivalent

Total equivalent = .50 of Mg²⁺ + .50 of Cl⁻

= 1 equivalent .
