Explanation:
The required concentration of [tex]HNO_3[/tex] M1 =0.222 M.
The required volume of [tex]HNO_3[/tex] is V1 =225 mL.
The standard solution of [tex]HNO_3[/tex] is M2 =16 M.
The volume of standard solution required can be calculated as shown below:
Since the number of moles of solute does not change on dilution.
The number of moles [tex]n=molarity * volume[/tex]
[tex]M_1.V_1=M_2.V_2[/tex]
[tex]V2=\frac{M_1.V_1}{M_2} \\=0.222M x 225 mL / 16 M\\=3.12 mL[/tex]
Hence, 3.12 mL of 16 m nitric acid is required to prepare 0.222 M and 225 mL of nitric acid.
