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 or 35.5 parts by weight of chlorine.

Statement 2: The atomic weights of hydrogen, oxygen or chlorine are taken as reference for the determination of equivalent weights of all other elements.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

I is the standard definition of equivalent weight and is correct. II is incorrect: the reference quantities are 1 part of hydrogen, 8 parts of oxygen and 35.5 parts of chlorine, and 8 is NOT the atomic weight of oxygen (16) - the references are the equivalent (combining) weights of these elements, not their atomic weights. Hence (c).
