Statement 1 : Equivalent mass of a species can be written as molar mass of species divided by valence factor.Statement 2 : Valence factor represents valence in elements, acidity in bases, basicity in acids and total charge on cation or anion in an ionic compound.

Equivalent Weight(E) =molecular weightvalencevalence depends on nature of substance For acids ,valence=basicity (number of H+ions or replaceable H-atoms by metal atoms) For a Base, valence=Acidity(number of OH- ions) For Ionic compounds or salts , valence=Total charge on cation or anionBoth  statements 1 & 2 are true
