0.25 mol of nitric acid is used to make a 0.10 M nitric acid solution. What is the total volume of nitric acid in liters

2.5 L will be the volume of HNO₃

Explanation:

To find out the total volume of nitric acid in liters we begin from molarity.

HNO₃ solution is 0.10 M

This means that 0.10 moles are contained in 1L of solution.

As we used 0.25 moles of nitric, let's determine the volume by a rule of three:

0.10 moles of nitric acid are contained in 1L of solution

0.25 moles of nitric acid will be contained in (0.25. 1) / 0.1 = 2.5 L
