Calculate the molarity of 0.450 N HCl.
0.450 M
0.650 M
0.386 M
0.225 M
Normality -
Normality: “Number of gram equivalents of solute present in one litre of solution is called normality of solution”.
Normality (N) = Number of gm. equivalents of solute/volume of solution( litre)
Number of gm. equivalents of solute = w/E =weight of solute/Equivalent weight of solute
N = w / E.V(litre)
Equivalent weight = Molar mass/n.
Relation between molarity and normality:
Normality X Equivalent weight = Molarity X molar mass.
Normality = Molarity X valency.
Normality = Molarity X number of H+ or OH- ions.
The unit symbol for normality is N. It is also denoted as (equivalent per liter) which is also known as normality.

Given:
Normality of HCl = 0.450 N
It means it has 0.450 equivalents of HCl in 1000ml of solution.
The HCl produces only 1 proton (H+) in its solution.
Therefore, 0.450 equivalents = 0.450 moles in 1000ml
So, the molarity = 0.450 M
Therefore, Option(1) is correct
