Equivalent Weight of Acid, Base and Salt

The equivalent weight of an acid is the number of parts by weight of the acid containing one part by weight of replaceable hydrogen. Hence, 

of replaceable hydrogen atoms in one molecule of the acid Molecular weight of the acid Basicity of the acid 

The equivalent weight of a salt may be defined as the number of parts by weight of the salt containing one equivalent part of the metal present in the salt. Thus equivalent weight of a salt may be obtained by dividing the molecular weight of the salt by the total valency of the metal atom or atoms present in one molecule of the salt.
