What is the concentration of a HNO₃ solution if 10.0 mL of the solution is neutralized by 3.6 mL of a 0.20 M NaOH solution?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concentration of the HNO₃ solution can be found using the neutralization reaction equation and the molarity (M) and volume (V) relationship: M1V1 = M2V2, where M1 and V1 are the molarity and volume of the acid, and M2 and V2 are the molarity and volume of the base. Given M2 = 0.20 M and V2 = 3.6 mL for NaOH, and V1 = 10.0 mL for the acid, we can solve for M1 (the molarity of the acid). Rearranging the equation gives M1 = (M2V2) / V1 = (0.20 M * 3.6 mL) / 10.0 mL = 0.072 M.
