Statement 1: Equivalent weight of any element represents the parts by weight of the element which combines with or displaces 1 part by weight of hydrogen or 8 parts by weight of oxygen.
Statement 2: The atomic weights of hydrogen and oxygen are taken as reference for the determination of equivalent weights of all other elements.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
I is the standard definition and is correct. II is incorrect: the reference quantities are 1 part of hydrogen and 8 parts of oxygen, and 8 is not the atomic weight of oxygen (16) - the references are the combining (equivalent) weights of these elements, not their atomic weights. Hence (c).
