Statement 1: The equivalent weight of an acid is its molecular weight divided by its basicity.

Statement 2: The equivalent weight of an acid is always less than its molecular weight.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

I is correct: for an acid, E = M/basicity (the number of replaceable actually furnished in the reaction). II is incorrect: for a monobasic acid such as or , the basicity is 1 and E = M, so the equivalent weight is not always less than the molecular weight. Hence (c).
