Equivalent weight of acid
« on: May 19, 2007, 08:19:35 PM »
Ok, im trying to find the equivalent weight of H+ for the Benzoic acid (2C6H5COOH), this is the reaction formula:

2C6H5COOH + Ca(OH)2   2 H2O +Ca(C6H5COO)2

This is the math Ive done:

(122.23g)(2)= 244.46 g/mol
     mol

   244.46   (1 mol H+)  = 20.37 g/equiv.
12 mol H+  1 equiv.

but for some reason this is not the correct answer... need a bit o' help, thanks
