In chemistry, describing a solution that contains ten times the normal concentration of a substance.
From deca- (ten) + normal (referring to a standard concentration unit in chemistry). The term uses the chemical definition of 'normal' as a specific measure of concentration.
A decanormal solution is ten times more 'punch' than standard—chemists created this terminology to quickly communicate exact concentrations without writing out long numbers, making laboratory communication faster and more precise.
