Solution
The correct options are A equivalent weight of Cu2S=M18 B equivalent weight of CuS=M26 In Cu2S: Change in oxidation state of S=+4−(−2)=6. Change in oxidation state of Cu+=(+2×2)−(2×1)=2. So, eq. wt of Cu2S=M16+2=8. In CuS: Change in oxidation state of S=+4−(−2)=6. Change in oxidation state of Cu+=(+2×2)−(2×2)=0. So, eq. wt of Cu2S=M16+0=6. Also, eq. wt. of Ba(MnO4)2=M32×5=10.
