Question

Given 3.5M and 10.5ml of zn(oh)2 find the molarity of nitric acid given 15.0 ml of nitric acid

Answer 1

10.5 milliliters of 3.5 M zinc hydroxide react completely with 15.0 milliliters of 4.9 M nitric acid.

What is molarity?

It is a unit of concentration equivalent to moles of solute per liter of solution.

• Step 1: Write the balanced equation.

Zn(OH)₂ + 2 HNO₃ ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O

• Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of Zn(OH)₂.

10.5 mL of 3.5 M Zn(OH)₂ react.

0.0105 L × 3.5 mol/L = 0.037 mol

• Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of HNO₃.

The molar ratio of Zn(OH)₂ to HNO₃ is 1:2.

0.037 mol Zn(OH)₂ × 2 mol HNO₃/1 mol Zn(OH)₂ = 0.074 mol HNO₃

• Step 4: Calculate the molarity of HNO₃.

[HNO₃] = 0.074 mol / 0.0150 L = 4.9 M

10.5 milliliters of 3.5 M zinc hydroxide react completely with 15.0 milliliters of 4.9 M nitric acid.
