I need to use 0.1N EDTA for titration, but now I only have 0.1M EDTA, I would like to know the equivalent of EDTA to make sure whether 0.1N of EDTA = 0.1M EDTA??
Can somebody help me in this??
Thanks.

N denotes normality which is just a unit of concentration. I've never used, and I've only seen it once.
This (http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/chemistry/MolarityMolalityNormality.html) website has a description of normality. Just scroll down a little ways.
As far as converting between normality and molarity, someone might be able to tell you how, or google it.

As I've suggested at http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=18410.msg70474 (http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=18410.msg70474), the issue with normalities is that you need a reaction to "titrate" against.
I'd suggest that if you're talking tetravalent ions, like Ce(IV); 0.1N = 0.1M, but for monovalent, 0.1N = 0.025M.

This EDTA I mentioned here is use to determine the total zinc in electrolytes. So, is it 0.1N = 0.1M???

As Zinc is divalent, I think 0.05M == 0.1N, but am not 100% certain
