The normality of a solution is the gram equivalent weight of a solute per liter of solution. A gram equivalent weight or equivalent is a measure of the reactive capacity of a given chemical species (ion, molecule, etc.). Normality is the only concentration unit that is reaction dependent.
Equivalent weight = molar mass/(H+ per mole)

Equivalent = mass of compound / Equivalent weight

And Normality = (equivalents of X)/Liter
