Detailed Solution

Reductant is also known as reducing agent means it helps in the reduction process by losing electrons from itself.

In Ferrous sulphate, FeSO4, iron (Fe) is present in +2 oxidation state and sulphur is present in the -2 oxidation state. When ferrous sulphate is present as reductant, it removes one electron and turns into +3 oxidation state.

Molecular weight of FeSO4 is:
FeSO4=55.8+32+(4×16)FeSO4=151.8

Equivalent weight of ferrous sulphate is
FeSO4=151.81=151.8
So, equivalent weight of ferrous sulphate is equal to the molecular weight of ferrous sulphate.
