Hi Bob,

What Z says. . . as a former chemist, it would be w/out the space.

Hi, Bob

I do not have an authoritative source for what you asked ... in case this
helps, I have seen _no_ space when the character is an 'M' (for Molar) in
chemistry.

Hi,

Can someone point me toward an authoritative source for usage of the N that
is short for normal? Is there a space between the N and its number value?

For example:

0.2N NaOH

or

0.2 N NaOH

I'm working on a bunch of docs that have this in them and would like to make
them all consistent, and would like to base my decision on more than what
looks good to me. I like the space in front of the N, but would happily bow
to some higher authority.

Thanks,

Bob
