alleryIn volumetric analysis, the equation $N_1V_1=N_2V_2$ is used on the basis of equality of
Amasses of solute
Bmoles of solute
Cequivalents of reacting substances
Dmolecular weights of reacting substances
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. equivalents of reacting substances
Normality-based titration uses the fact that at the equivalence point, the number of gram-equivalents of the reacting substances are equal.
That is why $N_1V_1=N_2V_2$ holds.
It is not generally a statement about equal masses or equal moles.
