Understanding Equivalents
* Equivalents represent the amount of a substance that can react with or replace a specific amount of another substance in a chemical reaction.
* For ions, the number of equivalents is determined by the charge of the ion.
Calculations
* Bromide ion (Br⁻) has a charge of -1. This means that 1 mole of Br⁻ contains 1 mole of negative charge.
* One equivalent of charge is equal to the charge of 1 mole of electrons.
Therefore, 1 mole of Br⁻ contains 1 equivalent.
