There are two chlorides of sulphur S₂Cl₂ and SCl₂. What is the equivalent mass of SCl₂

Dear Student

Your question seems to be incomplete. Assuming that the question asks "What is the equivalent mass of sulphur in SCl2", the answer is:
Equivalent weight of a substance is defined as the mass of a substance expressed in grams, which combines with 8 grams of oxygen or 1 gram of hydrogen or 35.5 grams of chlorine.

Sulphur forms two chlorides S2​Cl2 ​and SCl2​. The valency of S atom in these chlorides is 1 and 2 respectively.

Equivalent mass=Atomic massvalency​
​​​​The atomic mass of S = 32 grams mol-1

For SCl2​
Equivalent mass=322​ = 16
The equivalent mass of sulphur in SCl2 ​is16 grams.

The equivalent weight of sulfur in is 32 grams.

Explanation:

Equivalent weight of a substance is defined as the mass of a substance expressed in grams, which combines with 8 grams of oxygen or 1 gram of hydrogen or 35.5 grams of chlorine.

Given:

Equivalent mass of sulfur in is 16, which means that 16 grams of sulfur is combining with 35.5 grams of chlorine.

In molecule,

71 grams of chlorine is combining with 64 grams of sulfur.

So, 35.5 grams of chlorine will combine with = of sulfur.

Hence, the equivalent weight of sulfur in is 32 grams.
