Hey all, I have a quick question. This is really bothering me because its so easy. When solving gen chem questions like the two below, how do you know whether your suppose to use Normality or Molarity
You are given a volume, 1 liter, at a concentration, .01M, of an aqueous acetic acid and say its titrated with a base at concentration, .10M of Ca(OH)2(aq). And they want to know what volume of basic solution must be added to reach the equivalence point..
like compared to this problem:
What volume of 12M HCl solution is required to prepare exactly 500mL of a .60M HCl solution?
(the answer to the first one is 50mL and the second one is 25mL)
