Equivalent weight= Molecular weight/n-factor find n factor for H2SO4

but umm, in h2so4 n factor isnt changing and umm like mn going +7 to +2 i dont see any trend in any atoms in h2so4

i think ur not clear with the methods of finding n-factor u need to check the number of electrons exchanged per mole of h2so4 Which is 10/3 10 electrons are exchanged from KMno4 (+7 to +2) and there are 3 moles of h2so4

ohhh

Or u can do the charge balance thing agar if Rxn is more complex

but why did we check kmno4 change in reduction

Here it is a simple rxn so u can directly check Because it is going under Redox na H2So4 itself is not going under redox But it does participate in the rxn

Should be 3M/10 then

like if they asked equivalent weight of kmno4, then what will be the answer? 2M/10?

M/5 yeah

so whats a behaviour or role of h2so4 here? like its not helping in finding n- factor and the question itself asked its equivalent weight
