  • Question
    How do I calculate my normality?
    Community Answer
    You can use the formula N= weight of substance in grams*1000/ equivalent weight of substance*volume required in mL.
  • Question
    How do I prepare a 2N HCl solution?
    Community Answer
    Weigh 7.29g of HCl in a 100ml volumetric flask. Add deionized water to 100ml and shake for a 2N HCl solution.
  • Question
    3.65 g of HCl is present in 100mL solution. What is its normality?
    Community Answer
    It's 1N, 1 molecular weight in grams per 1 liter (1000 mL) solution. Molecular weight of HCl is 1 (H) + 35.5 (Cl) = 36.5.
  • Question
    How can I prepare 0.02N H2SO4?
    Community Answer
    You prepare a 0.01 molarity solution of sulphuric acid. It itself will be a 0.02N H2SO4 solution because normality=molarity*(no of H+ ions it can provide)---(for an acid). H2SO4 has 2H+ ions, so you will get the desired solution.
  • Question
    How do I prepare 1N Hcl solution for 100 Ml?
    Community Answer
    Just weigh 3.65 grams of HCl and put in a conical flask and make it up to the 100ml mark using water.
  • Question
    What are the steps to calculate the normality of NaCl?
    Community Answer
    The equivalent weight of NaCl is the same as the molecular weight which is 40. For example, to prepare a 1N NaCl solution you need to dissolve 40g of NaCl in 1000mL of water. You can also use the formula Normality= weight of substance in Grams* 1000/ equivalent weight*volume required in mL.
  • Question
    How would I prepare 10 N of concentrated H2SO4 (25 ml) whose molecular weight is 98.07?
    Community Answer
    First, find the equivalent weight. Use this formula: mol. weight / basicity (or n factor), giving you 49.03. Then, find normality using the weight of solute x 1000 / equivalent weight x volume of solution in ml, which would ultimately give you 12.26 grams. Therefore, you have to use 12.26 g of H2SO4 to prepare your 10 N concentrated H2SO4 solution.
  • Question
    How do I add .5 ml of a .5 N solution of HCL when my HCL is .1 N?
    Community Answer
    You cannot -- your stock solution is 0.1N when you require a solution of 0.5N. You can always decrease the concentration of your stock, but you cannot increase it.
  • Question
    How do I calculate the normality of 10% of NaOH solution?
    Community Answer
    10% NaOH means 10g of NaOH in 100 ml. Normality=molality.number of protons used molality=mass/RAM x volume(L) =10g/(40x0.1) =2.5M therefore normality=2.5Mx1 =2.5N
  • Question
    When 3.56 g hcl is present in 500ml of solution, what will be its normality?
    Community Answer
    It should be as follows: H = 1.008, Cl = 35.45, 1 M 36.45, V=1, e.w = 36.45 / 1 =36.45, N = 3.56 G Hal/ 36.45 X 1 = 0.098.
