Interpretation: The equivalent concentration of
Concept Introduction: The equivalent concentration is also known as normality of a solution and defined as the molar concentration of solution per equivalence factor.
The unit is eq/L. It can also be reported in meq/L where,
The equivalent concentration of a solution can be calculated as follows:
Here,
For balancing the charge, the total positive charge should be equal to the total negative charge. Hence, the total concentration of anions and cations in the solution must be equal.
