A volume of 30.0 mL of a 0.140 M HNO3 solution is titrated with 0.570 M KOH. Calculate the volume of KOH required to reach the equivalence point.

7.37 mL of KOH

Explanation:

So here we have the following chemical formula ( already balanced ), as HNO3 reacts with KOH to form the products KNO3 and H2O. As you can tell, this is a double replacement reaction,

HNO3 + KOH → KNO3 + H2O

Step 1 : The moles of HNO3 here can be calculated through the given molar mass (  0.140 M HNO3 ) and the mL of this nitric acid. Of course the molar mass is given by mol / L, so we would have to convert mL to L.

Mol of NHO3 = 0.140 M 30 / 1000 L = 0.140 M 0.03 L = .0042 mol

Step 2 : We can now convert the moles of HNO3 to moles of KOH through dimensional analysis,

0.0042 mol HNO2 ( 1 mol KOH / 1 mol HNO2 ) = 0.0042 mol KOH

From the formula we can see that there is 1 mole of KOH present per 1 moles of HNO2, in a 1 : 1 ratio. As expected the number of moles of each should be the same,

Step 3 : Now we can calculate the volume of KOH knowing it's moles, and molar mass ( 0.570 M ).

Volume of KOH = 0.0042 mol ( 1 L / 0.570 mol ) ( 1000 mL / 1 L ) = 7.37 mL of KOH

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.
