Hi,
if, for reagents and solvents, there´re equivalents given, what does it mean? Is it molar eq. or eq. weight, which would be mol divided through the
valence?
So if I had a rxn that says: substance a + subst.b (1.2 eq.),
reacts with kat (0.5mol%) and Solvent 1.2eq., to products of eq.
-mol% is clear but what about the solvent eq, since it has no valence in the reaction, does it?
thanks,
nightflight

It´s ok, I´ve got it, please delete, if you think this discussion is obsolete.

If an equivalent is called for, then it is meant as equivalent according to the reaction stoichiometry. That is what it should generally mean, but if
it does not, then it should be apparent from the procedure what exactly is meant. This always holds true for the academic literature (patents are
often a different story).
There are no reaction equivalents for solvents, utmost there are equivalent weights or volumes of solvents but that is something completely different.
