According to EK Chemistry, an equivalent is the mass of an acid or base necessary to produce or consume a mole of protons.
Does this mean that one equivalent of NaOH is 1mole, while one equivalent of H2SO4 is 0.5mol?
If the latter is true, in a titration of both, the equivalence point (which is the point at which there are equal equivalents of acid and base) should contain 1mole of NaOH and 0.5moles of H2SO4. Is it wrong therefore to say that at the equiv point,
moles acid = moles of base?
Thanks in advance.
