Chapter 16, Problem 67E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equivalent masses of $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{2}}$ and $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SeO}}_{\text{4}}$, are to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Normality is defined as the number of equivalents of solute per unit volume of the solution. Equivalent mass is the mass of the compound per equivalent. One equivalent of any substance means it would react with or supply 1 mole of electron or protons in a reaction.
