Download Solution PDFThe equivalent weight of oxalic acid in C2H2O4⋅2H2O is 63.
- The molecular weight of oxalic acid (C2H204) is 90.
- But since Oxalic Acid exists with 2 molecules of water, hence molecular weight of Oxalic acid (C2H2O4⋅2H2O) = 126
- Now, Equivalent weight = Molecular weight/Basicity
- Therefore, Equivalent Weight = 126/2 = 63 (As 2 is the basicity)
- Basicity here means Oxalic Acid release 2 H+ ions
