The concentration of the nitric acid solution is 0.11445 mol/dm³

From the question,

We are to calculate the concentration of the nitric acid solution

The given balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O

This means 1 mole of HNO₃ is needed to completely neutralize 1 mole of NaOH

Using the formula

$\frac{C_{A}V_{A} }{C_{B}V_{B}} = \frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}}$

Where $C_{A}$ is the concentration of acid

$C_{B}$ is the concentration of base

$V_{A}$ is the volume of acid

$V_{B}$ is the volume of base

$n_{A}$ is the mole ratio of acid

$n_{B}$ is the mole ratio of base

From the given information

$C_{B}= 0.0998\ mol/dm^{3}$

$V_{A} = 21.80 \ cm^{3}$

$V_{B} = 25.0 \ cm^{3}$

From the balanced chemical equation

$n_{A} = 1$

$n_{B} =1$

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

$\frac{C_{A} \times 21.80 }{0.0998 \times 25.0} = \frac{1}{1}$

Then,

$C_{A} \times 21.80=0.0998 \times 25.0$

∴ $C_{A}=\frac{0.0998 \times 25.0}{21.80}$

$C_{A} =\frac{2.495}{21.80}$

$C_{A} = 0.11445 \ mol/dm^{3}$

Hence, the concentration of the nitric acid solution is 0.11445 mol/dm³

Answer from: queenfan1818

The concentration of the Nitric acid solution : 0.114 M

Further explanation

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution (analyte) by reacting with another solution whose known concentration (usually a standard solution) is called the titrant. Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range

Titrations can be acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases

Reaction

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O

Concentration a standard solution of sodium hydroxide : 0.0998 mol/dm³ , and the volume = 25 cm³

moles NaOH=

$\tt mol=M\times V\\\\mol=0.0998\times 25\\\\mol=2.495~mlmoles$

From the equation, mol ratio HNO₃ : NaOH = 1 : 1, so mol HNO₃ = mol NaOH=2.495 mlmoles

The volume of HNO₃ = 21.8 cm³, so the concentration :

$\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\\M=\dfrac{2.495}{21.8}\\\\M=0.114$

Answer from: Quest

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."
