To find the number of equivalents, we need to know the number of moles of the species that act as an oxidizing or reducing agent. In this case, Al and S can both act as reducing agents and have a valency of 3 and 2, respectively. P can act as an oxidizing agent and has a valency of 5. Therefore, the total equivalents can be calculated as follows: Total equivalents= (moles of Al x 3) + (moles of S x 2) + (moles of P x 5) Substituting the values: Total equivalents= (5.0 mol Al x 3) + (1 mol S x 2) + (13 mol P x 5) Total equivalents= 15 + 2 + 65 Total equivalents= 82 Eq Therefore, the number of equivalents in 5.0 moles of Al³⁺ is 15 Eq (closest to the calculated value).
