Question
An ion is a reduced to the element when it absorbs 6 × 10^20 electrons. The number of equivalents of the ion is
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
One equivalent of a substance interacts with exactly one mole of electrons (Avogadro's number, $\approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}$). Number of equivalents = $(6 \times 10^{20}) / (6.022 \times 10^{23}) \approx 10^{-3} = 0.001$. Therefore, correct answer is C.
