**Statement-1:** The equivalent weight of in acidic medium is . <br>**Statement-2:** In acidic mediu — Mole Concept and Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

In acidic medium, $MnO_4^- + 8H^+ + 5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+} + 4H_2O$. The change in oxidation state is 5, so $\text{Eq. wt} = \text{Molar mass} / 5$. Statement-2 correctly explains the n-factor.
