Interpretation:
The terms acid equivalents and base equivalents should be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Equivalent-(Eq) of Acid: Generally, 1 equivalent of ion is the number of ions which has charge of one mole. In case of acids positive charge is of interest therefore, one equivalent of acid consists of 1 mole of
Equivalent-(Eq) of Base: In case of bases negative charge is of interest therefore, one equivalent of base consists of 1 mole of
