[Plumbum]

hi guys

On Monday I am about to synthesize my very first compound. Pls help ! It's : (E)-ß-Tosylstyrol

I have problems with understanding the instruction.

According to my instruction I am supposed to use : 10 mL of a 1 N Methanolic KOH

and 100 mL of a 1 N sodium disulphite solution. How am I supposed to create this solution ?? Solve 19 g sodium disulphite in water or what the hell?

Pls help

Normality (N) depends on the equivalence factor of the reaction, which you can only determine if you know what the reaction is.

So, what is the reaction?
