What is the difference between Molarity and Normality

Question

Accepted Answer

Molarity is the concentration of a solution in moles of solute per liter of solution, while Normality is the concentration of a solution in equivalents of solute per liter of solution.

Molarity is expressed in moles/L, while Normality is expressed in equivalents/L.
Molarity is used for all types of solutions, while Normality is specifically used for acid-base reactions.
To calculate Molarity, you need to know the molecular weight of the solute, while for Normality, you need to know the number of acidic or basic hydrogen ions that can be donated or accepted by the solute.
For example, a 1M solution of HCl has a Normality of 1N, but a 1M solution of NaOH has a Normality of 2N.
