Solution

The correct option is B 2.0×4×1000108×3×8.0
3Ag(s)+4HNO3(aq)3AgM3(aq)+NO(g)+2H2O
Therefore, 3 moles of Ag requires 4 moles of HNO3 to dissolve.
2gm of Ag metal2108=0.0185 moles of Ag.
Therefore 0.0185 moles of Ag requires 43×0.0185 moles i.e. 43×2108 moles of HNO3.
The volume of 0.8M HNO3 needed will be
43×2108×10000.8=43×2108×10008
Answer will be Option B.
