Question

What molarity of nitric acid (HNO3) was used if 2.00 L must be used to prepare 4.5 L of a 0.25 M HNO3 solution?

Answer 1

The   molarity  of (HNO₃) that was used  if 2.00 L must  be used   to prepare 4.5 L  of a 0.25M HNO₃ solution is   0.563 M

 calculation

  This is calculated  usind  M₁V₁=M₂V₂  formula

where,

         M₁(  molarity ₁) = ?

         V₁( volume ₁) = 2.00 L

        M₁ (molarity ₂) = 0.25M

         V₂( volume₂) = 4.5 L

make M₁ the subject  of the formula by  diving both side of the formula  by V₁

   M₁  is therefore = M₂V₂/V₁

M₁ =[ (0.25 M  x 4.5 L) / 2.00 L ]  =0.563 M
