molarity of 0.2N sulphuric acid
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Molarity = (number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters)
Here number of moles = ( given mass of solute / molar mass )
whereas Normality = ( Number of gram equivalent / volume of solution in liter )
where gram equivalent = ( mass of solute / equivalent mass )
Consider an example of H2SO4 whose molar mass = 98 g per mole
Consider a Solution containing 0.98 g of sulphuric acid in 100 mL.
Volume = 100 ml = 0.1 L
Then,
Number of moles = 0.98 / 98
Number of moles = 0.01
Hence molarity = 0.01 / 0.1 = 0.1 M
Hence Molarity = 0.1 M
Now sulphuric acid is dibasic therefore
its equivalent weight = 98 / 2
Hence equivalent weight = 49
so the gram equivalent = 0.98 / 49 = 0.02
Now Normality = 0.02 / 0.1
Hence the Normality is equal to 0.2 N.
Thus For H2SO4 ( i.e. dibasic ) Normality is 0.2 N and molarity is 0.1M.
