Calculate Normality



Formula

The formula to calculate Normality (N) is:

\[ \text{N} = \frac{\text{Eq}}{\text{V}} \]

Where:

What is Normality?

Normality in chemistry refers to the concentration of a substance in a solution. It is defined as the number of equivalents of a solute per liter of solution. Equivalents represent the number of moles of a solute that can undergo a specific chemical reaction.

Normality is important for measuring the reactivity of a substance in a solution. It allows scientists to determine the quantity of a substance required for a reaction and predict the extent to which the reaction will occur. This standardized measure is particularly useful in acid-base reactions for making precise calculations.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate Normality:

\[ \text{N} = \frac{0.5}{2.0} = 0.25 \text{ N} \]

This means that the Normality of this solution is 0.25 N.
