Normality

[Murphy Brown]

Can someone explain Normality to me in small, easy-to-understand words? I've read it in the review books and online and I'm still not getting it.

Normality, as I know, is just the relative concentration of an ionic species in its solution. For ex, H2SO4 - the normality of H+ is 2.

Yeah its just basically based on moles of a specific ion in solution, not the whole species. H2SO4 would be 2 N for H+ and 1 N for SO4 given 1 M concentration of H2SO4

Now someone correct me if im wrong but if you have 2 M H2SO4 itd be:

4 N H+ and 2N SO4 ??

That im not rlly sure about.

doxycycline,
I would think that you are correct. It is multiplied by its # of molarity (M).

Normality:

On the night before the MCAT:

When everyone is cramming, you go to the movies.

YOU are normal.

Normality.

No way. Before my MCAT I was watching predator. I wanted to watch the 300 but my HD DVD player crapped out when I tried to watch it (still haven't seen that movie to this day, still have the DVD sitting at home waiting to be played).

Watching movies = great decision. Prevents burnout.
