I was doing the kaplan online course and in the workshop they had a question about the number of equilivents using 1N H2SO4 and CaCl2. in the workshop they said you aren't concerned w H2 right now and you're looking at SO4. They said one equilivent of SO4 reacts with base so it's 1N and 1 equilivent

I took the quiz and using 1N H3PO4 with CaCl2 they said it was 3 equilivents of H (what I thought) and the reaction was 1.5N.

My question is this....WHICH ONE IS RIGHT? I thought looking at H+ or OH- was correct to calculate what the number of equilivents was but Kaplan made me think it was something else.
