Chapter 16, Problem 111E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The normality of tartaric acid with volume $\text{50}\text{.0 mL}$ when titrated with $\text{42}\text{.2 mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.402 N }$ sodium hydroxide is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

An acid base reaction is one of the types of reaction which is known as neutralization reaction. Normality is a term which is use to express the concentration of any solution. Equation which equates the equivalents of an acid and a base is given below

$\underset{\text{equivalents of acid }}{\underbrace{{\text{N}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_1}}=\underset{\text{equivalents of base }}{\underbrace{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}}$
