Relativity of Normality
« on: July 10, 2009, 03:10:56 AM »
Hi everybody

If by mixing two solutions I get a redox reaction where the oxidant is exactly completely reduced, can I assume that the two solutions had the same normality?

No.

At least not without additional information - have you mixed identical volumes? Was there excess of reducing agent left?

With identical volume and no excess reducing agent left.

Then yes.
