Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of equivalents of solute in $2.25\text{L}$ of $\text{0}\text{.871}\text{N}$${\text{H}}_2{\text{SO}}_4$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. The normality of a solution is defined as the number of equivalents per liter of the solution. One equivalent of an acid is the quantity that gives $1$ mole of hydrogen ions in a chemical reaction. One equivalent of a base is the quantity that reacts with one mole of hydrogen ions.
