Answer:

Since molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution, we need to find the number of moles of nitric acid, and the volume of solution.

molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) = 1 + 14 + (3x16) = 15 + 48 = 63 g/mole

1.50 g/ml x 1000 ml = 1500 g/liter

1500 g/liter x 0.90 = 1350 g/liter of pure HNO3 (the 0.9 is to correct for the fact that it is 90% pure)

1350 g/liter x 1 mole/63 g = 21.43 moles/liter = 21 Molar HNO3

= 21 Molar of HNO3

Answer:

21.4 M.

Explanation:

Mass of HNO3 = 90%

= 90 g of HNO3 in 100 g of solution.

Density = 1.5 g/ml

Molar mass of HNO3 = 1 + 14 + (3*16)

= 63 g/mol

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 90/63

= 1.429 mol.

Volume of solution = mass/density

= 100/1.5

= 66.67 ml of solution.

= 0.0667 l.

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of a substance per unit volume of solution.

Molarity, M = number of moles/volume

= 1.429/0.0667

= 21.4 M.

Answer:

Single replacement reaction (aka single displacement reaction)

Explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is substituted for another in a compound to create a new compound and a new element in the products. The general form is:

A + BC --> B + AC

In the case of this question, Cr and Fe "trade places."

Any atom is most stable when it’s outermost energy level contains
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

Atoms are at their most stable when their outermost energy level is either empty of electrons or filled with electrons. Sodium atoms have 11 electrons. Two of these are in the lowest energy level, eight are in the second energy level and then one electron is in the third energy level.

How is the life cycle of a star similar to that of a human?
QveST [7]
Stars have a life cycle, just like people: they are born, grow, change over time, and eventually grow old and die. Most stars change in size, color, and class at least once in their lifetime.
