What is the equilvalent weight?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Equivalent weight is the mass of a substance that will react with or replace one mole of hydrogen ions (H+) in an acid-base reaction or one mole of electrons in a redox reaction. It is used in stoichiometry calculations to determine the amount of a substance needed for a reaction.
