The equivalent weight is #=49#

The reaction is

#Ca(OH)_2 + H_3PO_4rarrCaHPO_4+2H_2O#

In this reaction

#H_3PO_4rarrHPO_4^(2-)+2H^+#

Orthophosphoric acid leaves #2# hydrogen ions.

Hence, its valency factor is #=2#

#"Equivalent weight " = "Molecular Weight "/2#

Molecular weight #=1*3+31+4*16=98#

Therefore,

The equivalent weight is #=98/2=49#
