Best Answer

To make 1 N acetic acid dissolve 1 mole of pure acetic acid in water and dilute it to 1.000 L. There are 2 methods you can use to make the 1 N acetic acid solution, by weight, and by volume.

Molar mass acetic acid = 60.05 g/mol

Weigh out 60.05 g acetic acid and add to a 1.000 L flask. Then dilute the acetic acid to the 1.000 L mark in a 1.000 L volumetric flask using distilled or deionized water.

Citric acid has 3 ionizable hydrogens, so the normality is 1/3 the molarity. 1 mole (192 g) contains 3 moles H or 3 equivalents. Thus to prepare 1 liter of 1 N citric acid, take 1/3 mole = 192/3 = 64 g and dissolve in water to a final volume of 1 liter.

0.1 N= 0.1M acetic acid (17.4 mol/L)5.75 ml + 94.25 ml H2O=1L
