Enter the normality, volume, and equivalent weight into the calculator to convert normality to grams of solute.

Normality to Grams Formula

The following formula is used to convert normality to grams:

G = N * V * EW

Variables:

  • G is the mass of the solute in grams
  • N is the normality of the solution
  • V is the volume of the solution in liters
  • EW is the equivalent weight of the solute in grams per mole

To convert normality to grams, multiply the normality of the solution by the volume of the solution in liters and the equivalent weight of the solute in grams per mole.

What is Normality?

Normality is a measure of concentration that is expressed as the number of equivalent weights of a solute per liter of solution. It is often used in acid-base chemistry and in redox reactions where the reacting species may not be the same as the formula unit of the substance. Normality takes into account the stoichiometry of the reaction involved.

How to Calculate Grams from Normality?

The following steps outline how to calculate the mass of solute in grams from normality:


  1. First, determine the normality (N) of the solution.
  2. Next, determine the volume (V) of the solution in liters.
  3. Next, determine the equivalent weight (EW) of the solute in grams per mole.
  4. Next, gather the formula from above = G = N * V * EW.
  5. Finally, calculate the mass of the solute in grams (G).
  6. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Normality (N) = 0.5 N

Volume (V) = 1 liter

Equivalent Weight (EW) = 49.04 g/mol (for sulfuric acid, H2SO4)
