Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of equivalents of acid and base per mole in ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}+\text{KOH}\to {\text{KNO}}_{\text{3}}+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Normality is defined as the number of equivalents of solute present in $\text{1 L}$ volume of the solution. Equivalent mass is the mass of the compound per equivalent. One equivalent of any substance means it would react with one mole of electron or protons in a reaction.
