Similarly, it is asked, what is the N factor of nahco3?
n factor for acids is its basicity, ie, number ofreplaceable hydrogen ion per molecule. For exampleg HCl has nfactor 1 n H2SO4 has 2 H3PO3 has n factor 2because when H3PO3 dissociates to form H+ and HPO3^-2. Same waysfor bases its n factor is its acidity or no of replaceableOH ions per molecule.
For example,
- n-factor of NaOH = 1.
- n-factor of Zn(OH)2 = 1 or 2.
- n factor of Ca(OH)2 = 1 or 2.
- n factor of AI(OH)3 = 1 or 2 or 3.
- n factor of NH4(OH) = 1.
Then, what is the N factor of N 8203?
The n-factor for is 2 whereas then-factor for is 1. The n factor is the numberof H ions that can be replaced in the chemical compound. Whereasfor salt the n-factor is determined by the number ofpositive or negative ions that is present in the salt.
Na(+) has a “valency” of +1 andCO3(2-) has a “valency” of -2, so the compoundis Na2(++) + CO3(2-) = Na2CO3 which has no electricalcharge.
