Vedclass · Answer

(A) The equivalent mass of an element is given by the formula: $	ext{Equivalent mass} = \frac{	ext{Atomic mass}}{	ext{Valency}}$.In $SO_2$,the oxidation state of $S$ is $+4$. The equivalent mass is $\frac{32}{4} = 8$.In $SO_3$,the oxidation state of $S$ is $+6$. The equivalent mass is $\frac{32}{6}$.Since $8 = \frac{32}{4}$,we can write $32 = 8 	imes 4$.Substituting this in the expression for $SO_3$: $	ext{Equivalent mass} = \frac{8 	imes 4}{6} = \frac{8 	imes 2}{3}$.

If the equivalent mass of $S$ in $SO_2$ is $8$,what is the equivalent mass of $S$ in $SO_3$?
