Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of such a sample of the acid if the density of the solution is 1.504 g mL-1?
Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in an aqueous solution. This means that 68 g of nitric acid is dissolved in 100 g of the solution.
Molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) = 1 × 1 + 1 × 14 + 3 × 16 = 63 g mol - 1
Then, number of moles of HNO3 = 68 / 63 mol
= 1.08 mol
Also density = 1.504g/mL-1 (given)
Therefore from the formula density = mass / volume, we get
Volume of solution = 1000/1.504 = 66.49 mL
Therefore molarity of nitric acid = (1.08/66.49) x 1000 = 16.24 M

Volume should be 100 not 1000ð
The volume of the solution should be 100g not 1000g
Volume of the solution should 100gnot 1000g
Vol=45.21mL Molarity=23.88M
