On a bottle of HCl at the job I just started it says 1.0N. What does the N stand for?
Answer:
N stands for normal. Which is equivalents per liter
normality is similar to molarity except it accounts for acids and bases that have more than one H+ or OH-
example.
1 molar HCl x ((1 mole / liter)/(1 molar))x(1 mole H+ / mole HCl) = 1 mole H+ per liter ie 1 normal
phosphoric acid is H3PO4.
1 molar H3PO4 is 3 normal.
N = "Normal"
The N stands for Normality.
N stands for normal. In chemistry, normality is a measure of concentration. It is the number of gram equivalents of solute per liter of the solution.
N stands for Normal
Normality is equal to the moles of a substance contained in 1 liter of solution times the number of ionizable H+ or OH- ions.
Since HCl has one ionizable H+ (HCl ---> H+ + Cl-)
1.0 N = 1.0 M ( 1 Normal HCl = 1 Molar HCl)
