$0.45 \mathrm{~g}$ of acid $($ molecular weight 90$)$ is neutralised by $20 \mathrm{ml}$ of $0.5 \mathrm{~N}$ caustic potash. The basicity of acid is
  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

Solution

Eq. of acid = Eq of base,
$\therefore \frac{0.45}{\text { E.wt }}=\frac{20 \times 0.5}{1000},=$ E. $\mathrm{wt}=45$
Basicity $=\frac{\text { M.wt }}{\text { E.wt }}=\frac{90}{45}=2$
