The molarity and normality of 5.7 g of Ca(OH)2 in 450ml 0f solution is calculated as follows

molarity = moles/volume in liters
moles =mass/molar mass
= 5.7g/74g/mol = 0.077moles
molarity = 0.077/450 x1000= 0.17M

Normality = equivalent point x molarity
equivalent point of Ca(OH)2 is 2 since it has two Hydrogen atom

normality is therefore = 0.17 x2 = 0.34 N
