How to calculate the equivalent weight of Potassium carbonate?
Step 1: Writing the equivalent weight formula
Equivalent weight is calculated by dividing the molecular weight by n factor.
Mathematically it is given as,
Step 2: Calculating equivalent weight of Potassium carbonate
Potassium carbonate have molecular formula
n- factor is the total positive or negative charge on salts.
For
Since 2 moles of Potassium ion are formed; n factor will be 2.
Molecular weight of Potassium carbonate = 138g
Equivalent weight
=
Therefore, equivalent weight of potassium carbonate is .
