equi. wt. of mohr salt = 392  because
Equivalent weight of Mohr salt = Mol. Wt./ no. of equivalents. = 392/ 1. = 392 .

Mohr’s salt is ferrous ammonium sulphate and its an reducing agent.The equivalent weight of Mohr’s salt is 392 which is equal to its molecular weight.This is due to the fact that oxidation of ferrous(Fe2+) to ferric(Fe3+) involves only one electron change only.
Fe2+ ----------> Fe3+ + e--
Equivalent weight = Molecular weight/1 = 392/1 = 392

As Mohr salt is a double salt. In aqueous solution Mohr salt gives ammonium ion ferrous ion and sulphate ions.It can act only as a reducing agent i.e., ferrous to ferric ion . So n factor is 1 . Equivalent weight is 392
