## Normality(n)

Normality is a measure of concentration of solution. It compares solute in terms of gram equivalents to the volume of solution in litres.

$\text{Normality(N)}=\frac{\text{geq}}{{V}_{L}}$

Its unit is geq/ litres. In case we consider volume in ml i.e. cc, then the expression of normality is given as :

$⇒\text{Normality(N)}=\frac{\text{geq}}{{V}_{CC}}X1000=\frac{\text{milli-gram equivalent}}{{V}_{CC}}=\frac{\text{meq}}{{V}_{CC}}$

If volume of a solution of known normality is known, then number of gram equivalents or milli-gram equivalents of solute are obtained as :

$⇒\text{geq}=N{V}_{L}$

$⇒\text{meq}=N{V}_{CC}$

It is evident from the definition of normality that normality of a given bulk solution and that of a sample taken from it are same. For example, if we take 10 cc of sulphuric acid from 1 litre of 0.2N sulphuric acid solution, then normality of sample taken is also 0.2N. However, geq or meq will be different as the amount of solutes are different.

$\text{meq in bulk solution}=0.2X1000=200$

$\text{meq in sample}=0.2X10=2$

Problem : Find volume of 0.2 N solution containing 2.5 meq of solute.

Solution : The gram equivalent is given by :

$\text{meq}=N{V}_{CC}$

${V}_{CC}=\frac{\text{meq}}{N}=\frac{2.5}{0.2}=12.5\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}cc$

Problem : How many grams of wet NaOH containing 10% water are required to prepare 1 litre of 0.1 N solution.

Solution : We can determine amount of NaOH for preparation of 1 litre of 0.1 N solution by using normality relation :

$geq=NV=0.1X1=0.1$

$⇒geq=\frac{g}{E}=\frac{xg}{{M}_{O}}$

The molecular weight of NaOH is 23+16+1= 40. Its valence factor is 1. Hence,

$⇒g=\frac{\text{geq}X{M}_{O}}{x}=\frac{0.1X40}{1}=4\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}gm$

But 100 gms of wet NaOH contain 88 gm NaOH. Applying unitary method, 4 gm of NaOH is present in wet NaOH given by :

$⇒\text{Mass of wet NaOH}=\frac{4X100}{88}=4.55\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}gm$

Problem : Borax ( $N{a}_{2}{B}_{4}{O}_{7},10{H}_{2}O$ ) is a strong base in aqueous solution. Hydroxyl ions are produced by ionic dissociation as :

$2N{a}^{+}+{B}_{4}{O}_{7}{}^{2-}+7{H}_{2}O\to 4{H}_{3}B{O}_{3}+2N{a}^{+}+2O{H}^{-}$

A solution of borax is prepared in water. The solution is completely neutralized with 50 ml of 0.1N HCl. Find the mass of borax in the solution. Consider atomic weight of boron 24 amu.

Solution : Applying gram equivalent concept,

$⇒\text{meq of borax}=\text{meq of 50 ml 0.1N HCl}$

$⇒\text{meq of borax}=NV=0.1X50=5$

Now, gram equivalent is connected to mass as :

$⇒meq=\frac{1000g}{E}=\frac{1000xg}{{M}_{O}}$

$⇒g=\frac{meqXE}{1000x}=\frac{1000xg}{{M}_{O}}$

Molecular weight of borax is 2X23 + 4X24 + 7X16 + 7X18 = 380. The valence factor of borax is 2 as one molecule of borax gives 2 hydroxyl ions. Putting values, we have,

$⇒g=\frac{5X380}{1000X2}=0.95\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}gm$

## Relation between normality and molarity

Normality is defined as :

$\text{Normality(N)}=\frac{\text{geq}}{{V}_{L}}$

Substituting for gram equivalent,

$⇒\text{Normality(N)}=\frac{\text{geq}}{{V}_{L}}=\frac{x{M}_{O}}{{V}_{L}}$

where “x” is valance factor. Now, molarity is defined as :

$M=\frac{{M}_{O}}{{V}_{L}}$

Note that we have used the convention that “M” represents molarity and “ ${M}_{O}$ ” or subscripted symbol " ${M}_{N{H}_{3}}$ " represents molecular weight. Now, combining two equations, we have :

$⇒N=xM$

$\text{Normality}=\text{valance factor}X\text{Molarity}$

## Combining solutions of different normality

Let us consider two solutions : 100 ml of 1 N ${H}_{2}S{O}_{4}$ and 50 ml of 0.5 N ${H}_{2}S{O}_{4}$ . What would be the normality if these two volumes of different normality are combined?

In order to determine normality of the final solution, we need to find total milli-gram equivalents and total volume. Then, we can determine normality of the final solution by dividing total gram equivalents by total volume. Here,

${\text{meq}}_{1}={N}_{1}{V}_{1}=1X100=100$

${\text{meq}}_{2}={N}_{2}{V}_{2}=0.5X50=25$

Total meq is :

$⇒\text{meq}={\text{meq}}_{1}+{\text{meq}}_{2}=100+25=125$

Now, important question is whether we can combine volumes as we have combined milli-gram equivalents. Milli equivalents can be combined as it measures quantity i.e. mass of solutes, which is conserved. Can we add volumes like mass? Density of 1N solution has to be different than that of 0.5N solution. We need to account for the density of the individual solution. It means that given volumes can not be added. However, concentrations of these solutions are low and so the difference in densities of solutions. As a simplifying measure for calculation, we can neglect the minor change in volume of the resulting solution. With this assumption,

$⇒\text{Total volume}={V}_{1}+{V}_{2}=100+50=150\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}ml$

The normality of the resulting solution is :

$⇒N=\frac{125}{150}=\frac{5}{6}=0.83$

## Normality of combination of different acids

Normality is based on the concept of gram-equivalent, which, in turn, depends on equivalent weights. The equivalent weight, on the other hand, is obtained by dividing molecular weight by basicity. The basicity, in turn, is equal to numbers of furnishable hydrogen ions. We may conclude that gram equivalent is amount of acid per furnishable hydrogen ion. Thus, we can see combination of acids (like sulphuric and hydrochloric acids) in terms of their ability of furnishing hydrogen ions. What it means that we can add gram equivalents of two acids to find total gram equivalents and find normality of resulting solution.

We can extend the concept to basic solution as well.

Problem : 500 ml of 0.5 N HCl is mixed with 20 ml of ${H}_{2}S{O}_{4}$ having density of 1.18 gm/cc and mass percentage of 10. Find the normality of resulting solution assuming volumes are additative.

Solution : Here, we first need to find normality of ${H}_{2}S{O}_{4}$ solution, whose density and mass percentage are given. Now, molarity of the solution is given as :

$⇒M=\frac{10yd}{{M}_{O}}=10X10X\frac{1.18}{98}=118/98=1.2M$

Normality of sulphuric acid solution is :

$⇒N=xM=2X1.2=2.4N$

We can now determine total gram equivalents and total volumes to determine the normality of resulting solution.

$⇒{\text{meq}}_{1}={N}_{1}{V}_{1}=0.5X500=250$

$⇒{\text{meq}}_{2}={N}_{2}{V}_{2}=2.4X20=48$

Total meq is :

$⇒\text{meq}={\text{meq}}_{1}+{\text{meq}}_{2}=250+48=298$

$⇒\text{Total volume}={V}_{1}+{V}_{2}=500+20=520\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}ml$

The normality of the resulting solution is :

$⇒N=\frac{298}{520}=0.57$

how did psychology begin?
of psychologys commencement, the traces can be seen in the work of Aristotle, where he talk about soul and body, likewise work in durrant, de anima, all these were somewhere supporting dualism, in which soul could exist separately from body
amaan
but if you talk about the moder psychology, Gustav fechner, is credited with performing scientific experiments, basis of his experiments in psychology with his studies perception.

there are so many different reasons why you can fall in love with someone, many of them develope subconsciously -> psychology
Clara
love messes with the brain, a lot, ergo I believe that Psychology does indeed deal with love
I would like an example as to what and how you think it deals with.

what is synapse
In the central nervous system, a synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. synapse are found where nerve cells connect with other nerve cells

the only eligibility criteria is that you should have 50% of aggregate in your psychology papers. (bachelors)
syeda
okay thank you so much❤ have a lovely day🙂
Avneet
you're welcome. glad it helped ^_^
syeda
To pursue a career as a psychotherapist you'll have to do your bachelors in psychology. (bsc honors is preferable). since there are many fields and you've chosen as a therapist. a masters degree in clinical psychology or therapy and family counseling is preferable.

and please, how would you guys, describe the study of psychology at college ?
edem
psychologist student?
Aspen
i mean not yet but am about to start college so wanna know how is it(college in general and psychology course) please
edem
Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour. So if you will take psychology as a subject so you will get to know how your everything (physical, mental, social, spiritual aspects) effects your behaviour
sakina
With this brief knowledge you can help people to cope up with their problems and only you can guide them correctly
sakina
And if you go for further specialisations you can study hypnosis, face reading, body language etc

hae everyone, hope you are well this evning my question is what is the difference between drive and motivation
Michael
good question
Rainee
drive is more like an impulse or urge and i think they both go together (drive and motivation) even if there is a slight difference
edem
@ Michael Drive is delivered to be innate without the use of an external stimuli, motivation normally evolves an outside stimuli which may include praise, appreciate, or reward.
Reginald
*believed...sorry for typo
Reginald
@Reginald, can't the motivation come from the inner self?
edem
Good question, please give an example.
Reginald
can we say desire of success for example

Qwanta
You mean who is the father of having a great educated argumentative guess? nothing is more wrong than this question. The question is you should ask yourselfs is, how sure are you abour their scientific studying? one's percieved assimilated approach to judging another person and saying they are
Roger
the biggest problem with scientific research and data is that ya you could get the same result 1000 times then it could go the other way 1000 times, but we would never know that and we did, we would still say ya but the proof is there. The only thing science proves is that humanity has
Roger
no facts about human behavior in the scientific context, but more in the trial and error.. sorry to tell you, but so far no one has proven Father of anything, thats up to you and i, judgement is bias, science is good enough lazy
Roger
cognitive development is the growing and development of the brain.
Ecofascism is a theoretical political model in which an authoritarian government would require individuals to sacrifice their own interests to the "organic whole of nature". The term is also used as a rhetorical pejorative to undermine the environmental movement.
ipau
what's the big difference between prejudice and discrimination?
A prejudiced person may not act on their attitude.  Therefore, someone can be prejudiced towards a certain group but not discriminate against them.  Also, prejudice includes all three components of an attitude (affective, behavioral and cognitive), whereas discrimination just involves behavior
