How to Calculate Normality of a Solution?

Short tutorial on how to calculate normality of a solution.

Introduction

The Normality of a Solution (N) is defined as the gram equivalent weight of a solute per liter of solution. It may also be called the equivalent concentration.

Formula:
Normality (N) = Gram Equivalent Weight / Liter of Solution

Let us learn how to calculate normality of a solution with a neat example here.

Example:
Given that the gram equivalent weight of the substance be 40 and that of the liter of solution be 85. Calculate Normality of a Solution (N).

Solution:
Normality (N) = Gram Equivalent Weight / Liter of Solution
Normality (N) = 40 / 85
Normality of a Solution (N) = 0.470
