1 equivalent (eq) of Li₂CO₃ is equal to 1 mole of Li₂CO₃. This is because Li₂CO₃ has two moles of Li⁺ ions per mole of Li₂CO₃, and each Li⁺ ion carries a +1 charge. Therefore, the total positive charge per mole of Li₂CO₃ is +2, which is equal to 2 equivalents. Since 1 equivalent of Li₂CO₃ represents half the total charge, it corresponds to 1 mole of Li₂CO₃.
