Molecular weight
Equivalent weight =
n factor
n-factor is very important in redox as well as non-
redox reactions. With the help of n-factor we can
predicts the molar ratio of the reactant species
taking part in reactions. The reciprocal of n-
factor's ratio of the reactants is the molar ratio of
the reactants.
In general n-factor of acid/base is number of moles
of H+/OH– furnished per mole of acid/base.
n-factor of a reactant is no. of moles of electrons
lost or gained per mole of reactant.
Example 1 :
1. In acidic medium : KMnO4 (n = 5) → Mn2+
2. In basic medium : KMnO4 (n = 3) → Mn2+
3. In neutral medium : KMnO4 (n = 1) → Mn6+
Example 2: FeC2O4 → Fe3+ + 2CO2

11. 1.5 g of chalk were treated with 10 mL of 4N HCl.
The chalk was dissolved and the solution made to

neutralisation. Calculate the percentage of pure
CaCO3 in the sample of chalk?
12. A 100 mL solution contains Na2CO3 and NaHCO3.

reduced chlorate into chloride and the excess SO2

precipitated, 0.1435 g of AgCl was obtained. In
another experiment 25 mL of the original solution

solution of an oxidizing agent for complete
oxidation. Calculate the molar ratio of chlorate and
chloride in the given mixture. Fe2+ reacts with
ClO3− according to equation:
ClO3− + 6Fe2+ + 6H+ → Cl− + 6Fe3+ + 3H2O

16. A steel sample is to be analysed for Cr and Mn

solution and by proper adjustment of the acidity,
the chromium is completely precipitated as
BaCrO4; 0.0549 g is obtained. A second 10.00 mL
