A.1
B.0
Solution
The term ‘normality of a solution’ is used to refer to the number of gram equivalents of the solute dissolved per litre or dm3 of the solution. It is represented by the letter N.
The term ‘molarity of a solution’ is used to refer to the number of moles of the solute dissolved per litre or dm3 of the solution. It is represented by the letter M.
Complete step by step answer:
Mathematically, normality of a solution ‘N’ is equal to the number of gram equivalent of solute divided by the volume of the solution in litres.
If ‘w’ gram of the solute is present in V cm3 of a given solution, then:
N=Eq.mass(solute)w×V1000
Mathematically, molarity of a solution ‘M’ is equal to the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution in litres.
If ‘w’ gram of the solute is present in V cm3 of a given solution, then:
M=Mol.mass(solute)w×V1000
Relationship between normality and molarity of a solution:
Suppose a solution is ‘x’ molar and molecular mass of the solute is M and its equivalent mass is E. Then,
Molarity of the solution = xmolL - 1
If we put the value of molecular mass, the molarity is obtained in gram per litre.
Molarity of the solution = x×MgL - 1
Therefore,
Molarity of the solution = Ex×MgeqL - 1
This is equal to normality of the solution. So, the normality of the solution = Ex×M .
Thus, in general, normality of a solution = Molarity × Eq.massMol.mass .
But, the equivalent mass of a molecule is equal to the molecular mass of the molecule divided by the valency of the molecule.
So, normality of a solution = Molarity × Mol.massMol.mass×Valency
This gives -
Normality = Molarity × Valence factor
So, the given statement is true
So, the correct answer is A.
Note: For an acid, molecular mass divided by the equivalent mass of the acid is equal to basicity of the acid and so, normality of an acid = Molarity × Basicity
For a base, molecular mass divided by the equivalent mass of the base is equal to acidity of the base and so, normality of a base = Molarity × Acidity
