To find the equivalent weight of the element, use the formula: ‌ Equivalent Weight ‌=‌
‌ Mass of the element ‌
‌ Mass of oxygen that combines with ‌8g‌ of oxygen ‌
Given that 32 g of oxygen combines with 12 g of the element, calculate how much of the element combines with 8 g of oxygen: Amount of element with 8g0=‌
12g
32g
×8g=3g Therefore, the equivalent weight of the element is: Equivalent Weight =3
