Calculate the concentration of nitric acid in moles per litre in a sample which has a density, 1.41 g mL^–1 and the mass per cent of nitric acid in it being 69%.

Open in App

Solution

Mass percent of nitric acid in the sample = 69 % [Given]

Thus, 100 g of nitric acid contains 69 g of nitric acid by mass.

Molar mass of nitric acid (HNO₃)

= {1 + 14 + 3(16)} g mol^–1

= 1 + 14 + 48

= 63 g mol^–1

∴ Number of moles in 69 g of HNO₃

Volume of 100g of nitric acid solution

Concentration of nitric acid

∴Concentration of nitric acid = 15.44 mol/L
