Q:

The molecular mass of sulphuric acid is 98. If 49 g of the acid is dissolved in water to make one litre of solution, what will be the strength of the acid?

A) Two normal B) One normal
C) 0.5 normal D) Four normal
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) One normal

Explanation:

Normality is a way of expressing concentration of a solution and can be calculated by the formula-

Normality (N) = No. of gram equivalent of solute/ volume of solution (in litre)

Gram equivalent weight of H2 SO4 = Molecular weight/ No. of Hydrogen atom = 98/2 = 49 gm

No. of gram equivalent in 49 gm of H2 SO4 = 1

So, Normality in 1 litre of solution = 1/1 = 1 N
