The molar mass of an acid = 40g mol-1. 50 ml of one normal Ca(OH)2 is neutralized by 0.5 g of the acid. The basicity of the acid is
  • a 4
  • b 3
  • c 2
  • d 1


 

Dear Student,

Equivalent of acid =Equivalent of base neutralised = N×V= 1N×0.05 L =0.05 equivNow, Equivalents=MassEquivalent massor, Equivalent mass= MassEquivalent =0.50.05= 10 Now, Equivalent mass of acid=Molar massBasicityor, Basicity=Molar massEquivalent mass=4010= 4Hence, correct answer is (a)
