2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be needed.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sodium hydroxide is a compound which is a base and nitric acid is the acid. The formula of the nitric acid is HNO3 and that of sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

The reaction between them are

NaOH +HNO3 =NaNO3 +H2O.

So here we can see that 1 mole of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitric acid to produce 1 mole of sodium nitrate and 1 mole of water.

So for 2 moles of nitric acid, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be required.

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid required is 16.53 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of concentrated solution, we use the equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated solution

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted solution

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL

$M_1=12.1M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.2M\\V_2=1L=1000mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$12.1\times V_1=0.2\times 1000\\\\V_1=16.53mL$

Hence, the volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid required is 16.53 mL

Which formula is an empirical formula?

poizon [28]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.

$MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)$

We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.

Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)

A. $N_{2}O_{4}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})$

B. $NH_{3}$

It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.

C. $C_{3}H_{6}$
