The equivalent weight or gram equivalent weight (GEW) for a strong mineral acid is the molecular weight (MW) divided by the number of replaceable hydrogen ions. For a strong base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) it is the MW divided by the number of replaceable hydroxide ions. The GEW is applicable to other types of chemical reactions and it is necessary to know what the reaction is in order to determine the GEW. This is a common theme in chemistry, you must know what the chemical reaction is in order to determine concentrations. For H2SO4: H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mole (MW)

H2SO4 has two replaceable protons (H+) & therefore has 2 equivalents (eq)

GEW = g/equivalents (eq) = MW/eq = g/mole X moles/eq H2SO4 GEW = 98.08/2 = 49.04 g/eq For HCl: HCl = 36.46 g/mole HCl has 1 replaceable proton & therefore has 1 equivalent HCl GEW= 36.46/1 = 36.46 g/eq You should be able to calculate this for NaOH, KOH and HNO3

One mole of H2SO4 has a mass of 98.08 grams. In solution, each molecule provides two hydrogen ions, so the equivalent weight is 98.08/2=49.04 g.

What is the equilvalent weight?

Equivalent means finding something the same, so the equivalent weight of 1 kilogram in grams is 1000 grams, or the equivalent in pounds would be 2.2 pounds. These weights are all the same, so they are equivalent.
