Answer:
15.75 grams of HNO3 was used and dissolved in 2.5 liters of solvent, to make a 0.10 M solution
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Nitric acid = HNO3
Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol
Molar mass of N = 14.0 g/mol
Molar mass O = 16.0 g/mol
Number of moles nitric acid (HNO3) = 0.25 moles
Molairty = 0.10 M
Step 2: Calculate molar mass of nitric acid
Molar mass HNO3 = Molar mass H + molar mass N + molar mass (3*O)
Molar mass HNO3 = 1.01 + 14.0 + 3*16.0
Molar mass HNO3 = 63.01 g/mol
Step 3: Calculate mass of solute use
Mass HNO3 = moles HNO3 * molar mass HNO3
Mass HNO3 = 0.25 moles * 63.01 g/mol
Mass HNO3 = 15.75 grams
15.75 grams of HNO3 was used and dissolved in 2.5 liters of solvent, to make a 0.10 M solution
