\(0.5 \mathrm{~g}\) of an acid is neutralised by \(40 \mathrm{cc}\) of \(0.125 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{NaOH}\). The equivalent mass of the acid is

  1. A 50
  2. B 100
  3. C 40
  4. D 80
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 100

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equivalent moles of \(\mathrm{NaOH}=\) Equivalent moles of acid \(N_{1} V_{1}=\frac{\text { Weight }}{\text { Equivalent mass }}\) \(40 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.125=\frac{0.5}{\text { Equivalent mass }}\) \(\therefore\) Equivalent mass of acid \(=100\)
