A solution is made by adding 23.1 mL of concentrated nitric acid ( 70.4 wt% , density 1.42 g/mL ) to some water in a volumetric flask, and then adding water to the mark to make exactly 200 mL of solution. Calculate the concentration of this solution in molarity.

Answer:

The correct solution is "3.6975 M".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Volume of solution,

V = 23.2 mL

Density,

D = 1.42 g/mL

Final volume,

= 200 mL

or,

= 0.2 L

Now,

The mass will be:

= [tex]D\times V[/tex]

= [tex]1.42\times 23.1[/tex]

= [tex]32.802 \ g[/tex]

Mass of HNO₃ will be:

= [tex]\frac{32.802}{0.704}[/tex]

= [tex]46.59375 \ g[/tex]

Mol of HNO₃ will be:

= [tex]\frac{mass}{MW}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{46.59375}{63}[/tex]

= [tex]0.7395 \ mol[/tex]

hence,

The concentration will be:

= [tex]\frac{mol \ of \ HNO_3}{final \ V}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.7395}{0.2}[/tex]

= [tex]3.6975 \ M[/tex]
