Question

Calculate the molarity and normality of 5.7 g of Ca(OH)2 in 450 mL of solution.

Answer 1

  The  molarity   and  normality  of  5.7 g  of  Ca(OH)2   in  450ml  0f    solution  is  calculated  as  follows

molarity  =  moles/volume in  liters
moles  =mass/molar  mass
=  5.7g/74g/mol  =  0.077moles
molarity =  0.077/450  x1000= 0.17M

Normality =  equivalent  point  x molarity
equivalent  point  of Ca(OH)2  is  2   since  it has  two  Hydrogen  atom

normality  is therefore =  0.17  x2 = 0.34 N
