SUMMARY
The equivalent weight of molecules, such as ozone (O3), can be determined using specific formulas based on the type of substance. For acids, the formula is equivalent weight = molecular weight/basicity. This method can also be applied to other compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). Understanding the definition of equivalent weight is crucial, as it varies depending on the context of the substance being analyzed.
