In a reaction 25.00mL of nitric acid required 51.4mL of 0.73M calcium hydroxide. Calculate the grams of nitric acid per liter of solution

47.27 g HNO₃

Explanation:

The reaction between nitric acid (HNO₃) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) is the following:

2HNO₃(aq) + Ca(OH)₂(aq) → Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O(l)

According to the chemical equation, 2 moles of HNO₃ reacts with 1 mol of Ca(OH)₂. At the point of total neutralization, the total number of moles of  HNO₃ reacts with the total number of moles of Ca(OH)₂:

2 x moles HNO₃ = moles Ca(OH)₂

The number of moles is equal to the product of molarity of the solution (M) and the volume in liters (V):

M(HNO₃) = ?

M(Ca(OH)₂) = 0.73 M

V(HNO₃) = 25.00 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 L

V(Ca(OH)₂) = 51.4 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.0514 L

So, we can write the equation at neutralization point as:

2 x (M(HNO₃) x V(HNO₃)) = M(Ca(OH)₂) x V(Ca(OH)₂)

From this, we can calculate the molarity of HNO₃:

M(HNO₃) = (M(Ca(OH)₂) x V(Ca(OH)₂))/2 x V(HNO₃)

               = (0.73 M x 0.0514 L)/(2 x 0.025 L)

               = 0.75 M HNO₃

We can convert the molarity from M (mol/L) to g/L by using the molecular weight of HNO₃:

Mw(HNO₃) = 1 g/mol H + 14 g/mol N + (3 x 16 g/mol O) = 63 g/mol

Finally, we multiply the molarity by the molecular weight to obtain the grams of nitric acid per liter of solution:

0.75 mol/L HNO₃ x 63 g/mol = 47.27 g HNO₃

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting
