Chapter 16, Problem 108E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Normality of sodium hydroxide of volume $\text{28}\text{.0 mL}$ which is titrated with $\text{0}\text{.750 g}$ of oxalic acid dihydrate is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Normality is a term which is use to express concentration of any solution. In a neutralization reaction equivalents of an acid and base are equal Equation which equates the equivalents of an acid and a base is given below.

$\underset{\text{equivalents of acid }}{\underbrace{{\text{N}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}}=\underset{\text{equivalents of base }}{\underbrace{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}}$
