You wish to prepare 0.13 M HNO3 from a stock solution of nitric acid that is 16.6 M. How many milliliters of the stock solution do you require to make up 1.00 L of 0.13 M HNO3?

Answer:

0.0078 L of the stock solution is required to make up 1.00 L of 0.13 M [tex]HNO_{3}[/tex]

Explanation:

According to laws of equivalence, [tex]C_{1}V_{1}=C_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

where, [tex]C_{1}[/tex] and [tex]C_{2}[/tex] are initial and final concentration respectively. [tex]V_{1}[/tex] and [tex]V_{2}[/tex] are initial and final volume respectively.

Here, [tex]C_{1}=16.6M[/tex], [tex]C_{2}=0.13M[/tex] and [tex]V_{2}=1.00L[/tex]

So, [tex]V_{1}=\frac{C_{2}V_{2}}{C_{1}}[/tex]

or, [tex]V_{1}=\frac{(0.13M)\times (1.00L)}{(16.6M)}[/tex]

or, [tex]V_{1}=0.0078L[/tex]

Hence 0.0078 L of the stock solution is required to make up 1.00 L of 0.13 M [tex]HNO_{3}[/tex]
