Hi Rudrajit,
N factor is very important for numerical problem in chemistry . N-factor of an acid is its basicity. It is a product of molarity \ normality . N-factor helps in determining the gram equivalent of compound . total h+ ion in a compound shown in reaction is its n-factor. Eg:- H2(SO4) has two hydrogen if one hydrogen is utilised in a chemical reaction then n-factor is 1 if both hydrogen is utilised then 2 is n-factor. Similarly in bases too. In NaOH acidity of this compound is . this means n-factor is 1. let a reaction be :- NaOH reacts with H2(SO4) to form Na2(SO4) with water . here both hydrogen of acid is used so n-factor is...more
