Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the equivalents present in 5.0 moles of 11ec7dd2_fe8c_1470_8044_b1dee03b5c85_TB34225555_11, we need to know the compound's molar equivalents. Molar equivalents are equal to the number of moles of a substance multiplied by its valence. We don't know the valence of the compound given, so we cannot calculate the molar equivalents directly.

However, we do know that the number of molar equivalents is equal to the number of moles of a substance that can react with or replace one mole of hydrogen ions (H+). This is known as the substance's equivalent weight. The equivalent weight is calculated by dividing the molar mass by the valence of the compound.

Since we don't know the valence of the compound given, we cannot calculate its equivalent weight either. Therefore, we cannot determine the number of equivalents present in 5.0 moles of the compound.

However, we can eliminate answer choices A, B, D, and E because they all provide a specific answer for the number of equivalents without stating the valence or equivalent weight of the compound. Answer choice C is the best choice because it acknowledges that we cannot determine the number of equivalents without knowing the valence or equivalent weight of the compound.
