Understanding Normality in Chemistry

Normality is a measure of the concentration of a solution expressed in gram equivalents per liter. A normal solution is one that contains 1 gram equivalent of solute per liter of solution. A decinormal solution contains 1/10 gram equivalent of solute per liter. Normality can be calculated by taking the weight of solute in grams, multiplying by 1000, and dividing by the equivalent weight times the volume of solution in liters. Normality formulas can be used to calculate the normality of one solution based on the known normality and volumes of other solutions in a titration.

Normality
The strength of solution measured in
terms of gram equivalent per litre is
called normality.

It is denoted by N.

A solution having 1 gram equivalent of


the dissolved solute in 1 litre of its
solution is called normal solution.
The solution in which 1/10th gram
equivalent of solute is dissolved per litre
of its solution,is called decinormal
solution i.e ,the solution will have N/10
strength.

Normality depends on two factors:


a) Dilution
b) Temperature
Mathematically,

N= weight in grams X 1000


equivalent weight expressed in gram X V

or,

N= strength in gram/litre
gm.eq.wt of the compound
NUMERICAL
Calculate the normality of x gram of NaOH
dissolved in y ml of solution.(eq.weight of
NaOH=40)
Here,

N = weight in gram X1000


eq.wt X V
= x X 1000
40 X y
NORMALITY FORMULA

Suppose N1 and V1 are normality and


volume of one solution and N2 and V2 are
the normality and volume of another
solution,then acoording to the law of
equivalent,
N1 V1 = N2 V2

This is called normality formula.


NUMERICAL

a mL of an unknown acid required b mL


of x N NaOH to reach the equivalence
point.Then calculate the normality of
unknown acid.
Here,
According to normality formula,
N1V1=N2V2
a X x = b X N2
