How can you determine the molarity of concentrated nitric acid?
Yes, I used 25 mL of concentrated nitric acid with a concentration of 16.0 M.
Great! To calculate the molarity, we use the formula: Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters. First, we need to convert the volume of nitric acid to liters by dividing it by 1000. So, the volume of nitric acid is 0.025 L. Now we can find the moles of solute using the concentration and volume. Multiplying the concentration and volume will give us the moles of solute. So, Moles of Nitric Acid = 16.0 M x 0.025 L = 0.4 moles. Finally, we can calculate the molarity by dividing the moles of nitric acid by the volume of solution in liters, which is 0.025 L. So the molarity is 0.4 moles / 0.025 L = 16.0 M.
