A solution is made by adding 32.4 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 250 mL of solution. Calculate the concentration of this solution in molarity.

Answer:

Molarity of the solution = 2.056 M

Explanation:

Mass of nitric acid = Volume × Density

                               = 32.4 mL × 1.42 g/mL= 46.008 g

Nitric acid is 74% by weight.

Mass of [tex]HNO_3 = \frac{70.4}{100} \times 46.008 = 32.39 g[/tex]

[tex]Moles\;of\;HNO_3=\frac{Mass\;of\;HNO_3}{Molar\;Mass\;of\;HNO_3}[/tex]

Molar mass of [tex]HNO_3[/tex] = 63.01 g/mol

[tex]Moles\;of\;HNO_3=\frac{32.39}{63.01}=0.5140\;mol[/tex]

Volume of the solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L

[tex]Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume}[/tex]

                    =[tex]\frac{0.5140}{0.250} =2.056\;M[/tex]

Answer: 2.06 M

Explanation: Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Given : 70.4 g of [tex]HNO_3[/tex] is dissolved in 100 g of solution.

Density of solution = 1.42 g/ml

Volume of solution = [tex]\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{100g}{1.42g/ml}=70.42ml[/tex]

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

n= moles of solute

[tex]Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{70.4g}{63g/mol}=1.12moles[/tex]  

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution = 70.42 ml

[tex]Molarity=\frac{1.12\times 1000}{70.42}=15.9M[/tex]

According to the neutralization law,

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of stock [tex]HNO_3[/tex] solution = 15.9 M

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of stock [tex]HNO_3[/tex] solution = 32.4 ml

[tex]M_2[/tex] = molarity of final [tex]HNO_3[/tex] solution = ?

[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of final [tex]HNO_3[/tex] solution = 250 ml

[tex]15.9\times 32.4=M\times 250[/tex]

[tex]M=2.06M[/tex]

Therefore, the concentration final solution is 2.06 M.
