Answer:
equivalent weight of H₂SO₄ = 98 g/eq
Explanation:
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid with two ionizable protons (H+ ions). The equivalent weight of a strong acid is the ratio of its molecular weight to the number of replaceable hydrogen ions.
Molecular weight of H₂SO₄ = 98 g/mol
The given reaction is:
[tex]NaI + H2SO4\rightarrow I2 + H2S + NaHSO4 + H2O[/tex]
Here only one hydrogen ion in H₂SO₄ has been replaced to form the product, NaHSO₄. Hence equivalent weight of H₂SO₄ would be:
[tex]Equivalent\ wt \ H2SO4= \frac{98\ g/mol}{1 eq/mol} = 98 \ g/eq[/tex]
