Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>0.456M</u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Balanced molecular equation</u>
<u>2. Mole ratio</u>
<u>3. Moles of HNO₃</u>
- Number of moles = Molarity × Volume in liters
- n = 0.600M × 0.0100 liter = 0.00600 mol HNO₃
<u>4. Moles Ba(OH)₂</u>
- n = 0.700M × 0.0310 liter = 0.0217 mol
<u>5. Limiting reactant</u>
Actual ratio:
Since the ratio of the moles of HNO₃ available to the moles of Ba(OH)₂ available is less than the theoretical mole ratio, HNO₃ is the limiting reactant.
Thus, 0.006 moles of HNO₃ will react completely with 0.003 moles of Ba(OH)₂ and 0.0217 - 0.003 = 0.0187 moles will be left over.
<u>6. Final molarity of Ba(OH)₂</u>
- Molarity = number of moles / volume in liters
- Molarity = 0.0187 mol / (0.0100 + 0.0031) liter = 0.456M
