Calculate the equivalent weight of ferrous sulphate (a) as salt and (b

1.	Calculate the equivalent weight of ferrous sulphate (a) as salt and (b) as reductant.
Answer» SOLUTION :Formula WEIGHT of FERRUS SULPHATE. `FeSO_(4)=56+32+64=152` (a) As salt, number of electrons transferred in the formation of salt is 2. Equivalent weight `=(152)/(2)=76` (b) As reductant, number of electrons transferred `Fe^(2+) to Fe^(3+) ` is 1 Equivalent weight =152
