Solution Normality Calculator
Multiplies molarity by the number of equivalents per mole to give normality in eq/L, the concentration unit used in acid-base and redox titrations.

Normality (N): equivalents per liter
Normality states concentration as equivalents per liter of solution: N = M · z. M is the molarity and z is the equivalence factor, which counts how many H⁺ an acid donates, how many OH⁻ a base donates, or how many electrons change hands in a redox reaction. Take H₂SO₄ at 1 M: it comes out to 2 N, since each molecule releases 2 H⁺ (it's diprotic). NaOH 1 M, being monobasic, is just 1 N. Modern IUPAC steers people toward molarity instead, yet normality still earns its keep in classical analytical work, where the stoichiometry collapses to N_a · V_a = N_b · V_b.
Applications
It shows up in acid-base titration when you need the neutral point precisely, in redox titration such as permanganometry and iodometry, and in clinical chemistry, where electrolytes like sodium, potassium and calcium in blood plasma are reported in mEq/L. Classical water analysis for total hardness uses it too, as do qualitative analytical chemistry textbooks.
FAQ
Normality vs molarity? When z = 1, as with HCl or NaOH, the two numbers match. With H₂SO₄, H₃PO₄ or Ca(OH)₂ they split apart, and N always lands at or above M.
Why is normality discouraged? Because z hangs on the reaction itself. The same compound can carry different N values depending on the context, which leaves room for ambiguity.
What is mEq/L? Milliequivalents per liter, or N · 1000. It's the unit clinical laboratories reach for when reporting electrolytes.

Anderson-Darling Test (Normality)
Computes the Anderson-Darling test, one of the most powerful normality tests available. It measures how far the empirical distribution of your data departs from the normal curve, giving extra weight to the tails — precisely where other tests often miss departures. The tool returns the A² statistic, the adjusted A²* version (corrected for sample size) and an approximate p-value. The smaller the A², the more compatible with normality. Enter at least 8 values.
Grubbs' Test (Outlier)
Computes Grubbs' test, used to identify whether the most extreme value in a sample is a statistical outlier, under the assumption that the data would be normal without it. It compares the deviation of the farthest point from the mean, in standard-deviation units, against a critical value derived from the t distribution. If the G statistic exceeds the critical value, the point is flagged as an outlier. It's the classic test for cleaning data before an analysis. Enter the data and the confidence level.
D'Agostino-Pearson Normality Test (K²)
Computes the D'Agostino-Pearson omnibus normality test, which combines two clues of non-normality into a single verdict: skewness (do the data lean to one side?) and kurtosis (are the tails too heavy or too light?). Each becomes a standardized z score, and the sum of their squares, the K² statistic, follows a chi-square with 2 degrees of freedom. It's more informative than looking at skewness and kurtosis separately. Enter the sample (at least 8 values).
Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test (vs Normal)
Computes the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test against a normal distribution with specified mean and standard deviation. It measures the largest vertical distance between your data's empirical cumulative distribution and the theoretical normal curve — the D statistic. Unlike tests that look only at skewness or kurtosis, the KS compares the entire distributions, point by point. Enter the sample and the normal parameters (mean and standard deviation) to test.

Vibration Isolation Efficiency
Calculate the vibration isolation efficiency, I = (1 − TR) × 100%, from the transmissibility TR. The result, in %, shows how much of the source vibration is blocked by the isolator before reaching the supporting structure (or vice versa): TR = 0.1 corresponds to 90% isolation. High efficiencies require soft isolators (low natural frequency), so that the frequency ratio r is well above √2. It is the practical indicator to specify mounts and antivibration bases for machines, engines and sensitive equipment. Enter the transmissibility.
