Chemistry help

Posted on 2014-04-01 07:24:00 in Chemistry by LIZ

I have two questions that I can't seem to figure out on my homework. You should know that I'm terrible at chemistry and it's difficult for me to understand certain concepts especially when math is involved. Any help you can give me is VERY VERY much appreciated!!



1) Sulfuric Acid reacts with potassium hydroxide according to the following equation:

H2SO4 + 2KOH ---> 2K+ + So4^-2 + H2O

What is the normality of a solution that contains 60 grams of sulfuric acid per liter of solution?



I know that I need to use the equation gram equivalents/volume of solution but I do not understand how to find the gram equivalents from 60. I do know that the gram equivalents of a mole is half of the molecular weight of sulfuric acid. Do I use a ratio equation? Do i just divide by two?



2) 10 ml of dilute NaOH were required to neutralize .2042 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate (1 meq= .2042 g). What is the normality of the NaOH solution?



totally lost on this one...





Again, any help is appreciated!!!!
