Equivalent mass of N =14/3gm

Explanation:

Given reaction is
N_2 +3H_2 rarr 2NH_3

Here oxidation state of N inN_2 is 0. Whereas, oxidation state of N inNH_3 is -3.
So, Three electrons are accepted by N.
Hence, Valence factor or n-factor (n_f) 0f N is 3.

As we know,
Equivalent mass of N = Molar Mass of N/n_f

Equivalent mass of N =14/3gm
