How many grams of dibasic acid (mol.wt.200) should be present in 100 mL.

How many grams of dibasic acid (mol.wt.200) should be present in 100 mL. of an aqueous solution to give decinormal strength

Options

(a) 1 g
(b) 10 g
(c) 2 g
(d) 20 g

Correct Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

Normality = Number of g. equivalents of solute / volume of solution (L).
Number of equivalents = Weight / Equivalent weight.
For dibasic acid, equivalent weight = molecular wt/2 = 200/2 = 100.
Volume of solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L. Normality = 0.1 N.
Weight of solute = equivalent weight ⨯ normality ⨯ volume of solution (L) = 100⨯ 0.1 ⨯ 0.1 = 1 g.
