Step 1
Given that the solution is 70% HNO3 (w/w) and has a specific gravity of 1.42, we can assume that 100 g of the solution contains 70 g of HNO3. Therefore, the mass of HNO3 in the solution can be calculated as follows: Mass of HNO3 = (70 g / 100 g) * 1000 g = 700 g Show more…

Calculate the molar concentration of HNO3 (M.wt.= 63.0 g/mol) in a solution that has a density of 1.66 g/mL and is 70.0% HNO3 (w/w).

A sample of concentrated nitric acid has a density of 1.41 g/mL and contains 70.0$\% \mathrm{HNO}_{3}$ by mass. (a) What mass $(\mathrm{g})$ of $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$ is present per liter of solution? (b) What is the molarity of the solution?
Concentrated nitric acid is sold as a $70.4 \%$ by mass solution. If this solution has a density of $1.42 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ what mass of $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$ is contained in $1.00 \mathrm{L}$ of the solution?
