    In the equation\[{{H}_{2}}S+2HN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}O+2N{{O}_{2}}+S\] The equivalent weight of hydrogen sulphide is

    A)  18                                         

    B)  68

    C)  34                                         

    D)  17

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Key Idea Equivalent weight \[=\frac{molecular\text{ }weight}{\begin{align}   & change\text{ }in\text{ }oxidation\text{ }number\text{ }of\text{ }atoms \\  & present\text{ }in\text{ }one\text{ }molecule \\ \end{align}}\] In the following equation. \[{{H}_{2}}\overset{-2}{\mathop{S}}\,+NH{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}O+2N{{O}_{2}}+\overset{o}{\mathop{S}}\,\] Increase in oxidation state = 2 hence, the equivalent weight of                                 \[{{H}_{2}}S=\frac{molecular\text{ }weight}{change\text{ }in\text{ }oxidation\text{ }number}\]                                 \[=\frac{37}{2}=17\]
