Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The compound with largest equivalent weight is to be chosen.
Concept introduction:
Equivalent weight of an acid is calculated by dividing the molecular weight of compound by basicity of the acid.
Basicity of acid is the number of hydrogen ion it can replace in aqueous medium.
