%(w/w) question
« on: February 19, 2008, 09:06:11 PM »
This question has stumped me (organic is more of my thing); I'd appreciate any help that may be offered in figuring it out!
How many milliliters of concentrated nitric acid, 69% (w/w), with density of 1.409 g/mL are required to prepare 1 L of a 0.100 M Solution? Any insight will be helpful... thanks

First calculate Molarity of a 69% solution of HNO3

Key:  69 gm HNO3 /  100 g SOLUTION

How would you use the density?

decide which is more concentrated - the molarity of the 69% HNO3 or the 0.100 M solution

then use MconcVconc   =  Mdil Vdil
