An aqueous solution of 2.45% by weight H2SO4 has a specific gravity of 1.011. The composition expressed in normality is______________?

Correct answer: D. 0.5055

  • A. 0.2500
  • B. 0.2528
  • C. 0.5000
  • D. 0.5055

Explanation

One litre of solution weighs 1011 g, so it contains 0.0245 × 1011 = 24.77 g of H₂SO₄. Dividing by its equivalent weight, 49 g per equivalent, gives about 0.505 N.
