<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:
We are given:
pH = 0.70
Putting values in above equation, we get:
1 mole of nitric acid produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of nitrate ions.
Molarity of nitric acid = 0.199 M
To calculate the volume of the concentrated solution, we use the equation:
where,
are the molarity and volume of the concentrated nitric acid solution
are the molarity and volume of diluted nitric acid solution
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL
