How many grams of concentrated nitric acid solution should be used to prepare 250 ~mL of 2.0 M HNO ₃ ? The concentrated acid is 70 % HNO ₃ .
Options
- A45.0 ~g conc. HNO ₃
- B90.0 ~g conc. HNO ₃
- C70.0 ~g conc. HNO ₃
- D54.0 ~g conc. HNO ₃
Correct answer
A. 45.0 ~g conc. HNO ₃
Step-by-step solution
Given, molarity of solution =2 Volume of solution =250 ~mL = 250 1000 = 1 4 ~L Molar mass of HNO ₃=1+14+3 16=63 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ Molarity aligned & = weight of HNO ₃ mass of . HNO ₃ volume of solution ( L ) & Weight of HNO ₃= molarity mol. mass & volume ( L ) & =2 63 1 4 ~g =31.5 ~g & aligned It is the weight of 100 % HNO ₃ . But the given acid is 70 % HNO ₃ . Its weight =31.5 100 70 ~g =45 ~g
