Answer:
a) 63,0%
b) 54,4 Pounds HNO₃ per cubic foot of solution
c) 13,8 M
Explanation:
a) Weight percent is the ratio solute:solution times 100:
[tex]\frac{1,704 kg HNO_3}{2,704 kg Solution}[/tex] = 63,0%
b) Pounds HNO₃ per cubic foot of solution at 20 °c
Pounds HNO₃:
1,704 kg [tex]\frac{2,20462 pounds}{1 kg}[/tex] = 3,7567 pounds
Cubic foot:
2,704 kg [tex]\frac{1 L}{1,382 kg}[/tex]x[tex]\frac{1 cubic foot }{28,3168 L}[/tex] = 0,069 ft³
Thus:[tex]\frac{3,7567 pounds}{0,069ft^3} =[/tex] = 54,4 Pounds HNO₃ per cubic foot of solution
c) Moles of HNO₃:
1704 g HNO₃ [tex]\frac{1 mol HNO_3}{63,01 g }[/tex] = 27,04 moles
Liters of solution:
2,704 kg [tex]\frac{1 L}{1,382 kg}[/tex] = 1,96 L of solution
Molarity:
[tex]\frac{27,04 mol}{1,96 L}[/tex] = 13,8 M
