Answer to Question #182101 in Chemistry for Kent Dubria Atanoso

Question

What volume of dilute nitric acid of density 1.11g/mL and 19% nitric acid by weight contains in 10g nitric acid. 

Answer 1

Solution:

nitric acid - HNO₃

%HNO₃ = (Mass of HNO₃ / Mass of solution) × 100%

Hence,

Mass of solution = (Mass of HNO₃ × 100%) / (%HNO₃)

Mass of solution = (10 g × 100%) / (19%) = 52.63 g

Mass of solution = Solution volume × Density

Hence,

Solution volume = Mass of solution / Density

Solution volume = (52.63 g) / (1.11 g/mL) = 47.4 mL

Answer: 47.4 mL of dilute HNO₃
