Hi, This a question from Achiever that seems to give an answer different from what i previous knew about difference between Normality and Molarity.
I would appreciate if someone would explain why the following is the answer to this question. Thank you in advance.
Determine the normality and molarity of a 100.00 ml H2SO4 solution that requires 75.00 ml of 0.5000 N KOH for complete neutralization.
Achiever's answer and explanation:
Normality: V1N1 = V2N2
(75*.5)/100 = .375N
Molarity:
.375/2 = .18M
Now since each mole of diprotic H2SO4 is associated with 2 equivalents of acid, why did they divide by 100ml instead of 200ml to get our normality??
