Molar solution or Molarity:
a- Question:
Calculate the molarity of a solution, 2.0 litres of which
contain 2.6 moles of solute.
Answer:
M = moles of solute / litres of solution
M = 2.6 moles / 2.0 litres
M = 1.3 M
Normal solution:
Normality :
• A 1-NORMAL (1N) solution contains one gram-equivalent weight of
solute per litre of solution.
• The Gram-equivalent weight of a substance may defined as:
The weight of a mole of the substance divided by the total positive
valence of the compound.
• It should be evident that a 1M solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl)
is also 1N because a gram-equivalent weight of HCl is equal to
one mole of it.
