Formula: Molarity = Normality / n-factor
Worked example โ 2 N H2SO4 = 1 M H2SO4
Formula
Molarity = Normality / n-factor
Divide the normality by the equivalence factor (n-factor) to get molarity. The n-factor is the number of equivalents per mole: for acids it is the number of H+ ions donated, for bases it is the number of OH- ions, and for redox reactions it is the change in oxidation state.
Worked Examples
Example 1: H2SO4: Normality to Molarity
Problem:Convert 2 N H2SO4 to molarity.
Solution:n-factor for H2SO4 = 2 (donates 2 H+) Molarity = Normality / n-factor Molarity = 2 / 2 = 1 M
Result:2 N H2SO4 = 1 M H2SO4
Example 2: H3PO4: Molarity to Normality
Problem:What is the normality of 0.5 M H3PO4 (fully ionized)?
Solution:n-factor for H3PO4 = 3 (donates 3 H+) Normality = Molarity x n-factor Normality = 0.5 x 3 = 1.5 N
Result:0.5 M H3PO4 = 1.5 N H3PO4
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between normality and molarity?
Molarity (M) measures the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, while normality (N) measures the number of equivalents of solute per liter of solution. An equivalent depends on the reaction type: for acid-base reactions, it is the number of H+ or OH- ions a molecule can donate or accept. Normality equals molarity multiplied by the equivalence factor (n-factor). For example, 1 M H2SO4 is 2 N because each molecule can donate 2 H+ ions in complete dissociation.
Is normality still widely used in modern chemistry?
Normality has fallen out of favor in many areas of modern chemistry because it depends on the specific reaction being considered, making it potentially ambiguous. IUPAC recommends using molarity or molality for clarity. However, normality remains widely used in certain applications: water treatment chemistry, titration calculations in analytical chemistry, clinical and pharmaceutical testing, and environmental monitoring. In these fields, normality directly relates to the reactive capacity of a solution, which simplifies titration calculations.
