Question
What is normality and formality? Explain.
Do they depend on temperature?
✓

Answer

Normality (N) : The number of gram equivalents of solute, which is dissolved in one liter of solution, is called normality of the solution.
$
N=\frac{\text { Moles of solute }}{\begin{array}{c}
\text { equivalent weight of solute } \times \\
\text { volume of solution (in liter) }
\end{array}}
$
Formality (F) : The number of gram formula weights of solute dissolved in one liter of solution is called formality of solution. Formality is used when a solute is combining or dissociating in a solution.
$
F=\frac{\text { Moles of solute }(\text { in } gm)}{\begin{array}{c}
\text { Formula mass of solute } \times \\
\text { volume of solution (in liter) }
\end{array}}
