Question

Sulphur forms the chlorides $S_{2}Cl_{2}\text{ and }SCl_{2}$. The equivalent mass of sulphur in $SCl_{2}$is

• A. 8 g/mole
• B. 16 g/mole
• C. 64.8 g/mole
• D. 32 g/mole

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

16 g/mole

Answer 2

The atomic weight of sulphur =32

In $SCl_{2}$ valency of sulphur =2

So equivalent mass of sulphur $= \frac{32}{2} = 16$.
