Conversion of NH2OH will be-
2NH2OH -------------> N2O
Let Molecular wt. of NH2OH be M.
Now in NH2OH the oxidation no. of N is -1.
and in N2O the oxidation no. of N is +1.
Thus,
2N = -2 2N = +2
2NH2OH -----------> N2O
Equivalent weight will be given as,
E. wt. = Molecular wt./ change in oxidation no.
E.wt. = 2M/ 2 – ( -2)
= 2M/4
Thus equivalent wt. of NH2OH = M/2
