What is Equivalent Mass?
The mass of a particular substance that can combine with or displace 1 gram of hydrogen or 8 grams of oxygen or 35.5 grams of chlorine, used in expressing combining powers, especially of elements is called the equivalent mass. For acid–base reactions, the equivalent weight of an acid or base is the mass which supplies or reacts with one mole of hydrogen cations (H+). For redox reactions, the equivalent weight of each reactant supplies or reacts with one mole of electrons (e−) in a redox reaction. Equivalent weight has the units of mass, unlike atomic weight, which is now used as a synonym for relative atomic mass and is dimensionless. Equivalent weights were originally determined by experiment, but (so far as they are still used) are now derived from molar masses. The equivalent weight of a compound can also be calculated by dividing the molecular mass by the number of positive or negative electrical charges that result from the dissolution of the compound.
How to Calculate Determination of Equivalent Mass of Metal added using Metal Displacement Method?
Determination of Equivalent Mass of Metal added using Metal Displacement Method calculator uses Equivalent Mass of Metal added = (Mass of Metal added/Mass of Metal displaced)*Equivalent Mass of Metal displaced to calculate the Equivalent Mass of Metal added, The Determination of Equivalent Mass of Metal added using Metal Displacement Method formula is based on the fact that 1 gm. equivalent of a more electropositive metal displaces 1 gm. equivalent of a less electropositive metal from it's salt solution. Equivalent Mass of Metal added is denoted by E1 symbol.
How to calculate Determination of Equivalent Mass of Metal added using Metal Displacement Method using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Determination of Equivalent Mass of Metal added using Metal Displacement Method, enter Mass of Metal added (W1), Mass of Metal displaced (W2) & Equivalent Mass of Metal displaced (E2) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Determination of Equivalent Mass of Metal added using Metal Displacement Method calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5485.964 = (0.000336/0.00055)*0.00898.
