I was trying to mine Monero using my CPU. I am getting a speed of about 50-60 H/s. Is this speed normally what you get while mining using CPU? I am on an Intel Core i5 4200 CPU.

Seems normal. You can play with number of threads to try and get some more. Amount of CPU cache is very important as you need 2MB of it for 1 thread.

If comparing with other cryptocurrencies, note that it's a different mining algorithm (CryptoNight) and that's the reason why you're not getting similar to others like Bitcoin.
