Question

How much of a 1.4 M solution of NaOH will neutralize 250.0mL OF HNO3 with a molarity of 3.5M?

Answer 1

Balanced Reaction: NaOH + HNO₃ → NaNO₃ + H₂O

(1) As in other problems you have listed, first calculate the moles of HNO₃ using its volume and molarity.

(2) Using the balanced chemical reaction, convert moles of HNO₃ to moles of NaOH.

(3) From the moles of NaOH and Molarity, calculate the volume of NaOH needed to neutralize HNO₃.
