Question

What is the Molarity of a solution of HNO3 if it contains 12.6 moles in a
0.75 L solution? *

Answer 1

M = 16.8 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: HNO3

moles = 12.6 moles

solution volume = 0.75 L

Molarity is represented by the letter M and is defined as the amount of solute expressed in moles per liter of solution.

`M=(moles)/(solution volume)`

The data is replaced in the given equation:

`M=(12.6 mol)/(0.75L)=16.8(mol)/(L)`

Answer 2

The correct answer is 16.8 M

Step-by-step explanation:

The molarity (M) of a solution is the number of moles of solute in 1 liter of solution. The HNO₃ solution contains 12.6 moles of solute (in this case the solute is HNO₃) in 0.75 liters. In order to find the molarity, we have to divide the number of moles into the volume in liters as follows:

M = 12.6 moles/0.75 L = 16.8 moles/L = 16.8 M
