10.5 milliliters of 3.5 M zinc hydroxide react completely with 15.0 milliliters of 4.9 M nitric acid.
<h3>What is molarity?</h3>
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.
