-
Something equivalent; that which is equal in value, worth, weight, or force; as, to offer an equivalent for damage done.
-
That comparative quantity by weight of an element which possesses the same chemical value as other elements, as determined by actual experiment and reference to the same standard. Specifically: (a) The comparative proportions by which one element replaces another in any particular compound; thus, as zinc replaces hydrogen in hydrochloric acid, their equivalents are 32.5 and 1. (b) The combining proportion by weight of a substance, or the number expressing this proportion, in any particular compound; as, the equivalents of hydrogen and oxygen in water are respectively 1 and 8, and in hydric dioxide 1 and 16.
-
A combining unit, whether an atom, a radical, or a molecule; as, in acid salt two or more equivalents of acid unite with one or more equivalents of base.
-
To make the equivalent to; to equal; equivalence.
-
Equal in measure but not admitting of superposition; - applied to magnitudes; as, a square may be equivalent to a triangle.

-
Of equal force, power, or value.
-
The unvarying quantity of one body which is requisite to replace a fixed weight of another body.
By Willam Alexander Newman Dorland
-
Of equal value; as a n., an e. number, a term formerly used for the amount by weight of an element which was capable of combining with I part by weight of hydrogen. Thus, the e. of oxygen was 8, because 8 parts of this element unite with I part of hydrogen to form water. The term, however, is now applied to the amount by weight of any element which can replace I part by weight of hydrogen in a compound. It is equal to the atomic weight of the element divided by the number representing its quantivalence.
