Normality=1.0N

Explanation:

Normality is defined similarly to molarity.

Normality=Moles of H3O+or HOVolume of solution

Here, normality=4.0g40.0gmol10.100L=1.0N.

This will react quantitatively with one equiv of acid. One the other hand, a solution of diprotic H2SO4(aq) that is 0.50molL1 with respect to H2SO4, but necessarily 1.0molL1 with respect to H3O+ (why?), would also be regarded as 1N.
