What are the uses of normality?

Posted August 26, 2024


Answer

The main use of normality is in acid-base chemistry. Researchers use normality to determine calculations and achieve results by avoiding complex mole ratios. Normality is often used in precipitation reactions to help determine the quantity of ions that will form a precipitate during the reaction. Additionally, in redox reactions, normality is used to calculate the number of electrons that a reducing or oxidizing agent can gain or lose.
