  • Understanding Normality in Acids: What Does 'N' Represent?
    The "N" in 0.02 N acid stands for normality.

    Normality is a unit of concentration that represents the number of gram equivalent weights of a solute per liter of solution.

    Gram equivalent weight is the mass of a substance that can combine with or displace one mole of hydrogen ions (H+) in an acid-base reaction.

    So, 0.02 N acid means a solution containing 0.02 gram equivalent weights of the acid per liter of solution.
