Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $\text{0}\text{.492}\text{N}$${\text{KMnO}}_4$ that contains $\text{0}\text{.788}\text{eq}$ 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.
