Equivalent Mass and Normality: Determination of the Equivalent Mass of an

Unknown Acid

1. What is the normality of a Ca(OH)2 solution, 125 mL of which contains 0.0740 g

of solute?
N= 0.0740 g / 0.125L (37 g/eq) N= 0.01598 eq/L

2. If 30.0 mL of an unstandardized NaOH solution is required to react completely

with 1.00 g of KHC8H4O4 (KHP), what is the normality of the base?

N= 1.00/0.030 x 204.22 = 0.163 eq/L

3. What volume of 0.100 N HCl is needed to neutralize 25.0 mL of a 0.30 N NaOH

solution?
0.100x V1 = 0.30 x 25.0
0.100 x v1 = 7.5 V1= 7.5/0.100 V1=75 ml

4. Complete the following table:

HCl H2SO4 H3PO4 Na2CO3* Ca(OH)2 Ba(OH)2
