A chemist needs to determine the concentration of a solution of nitric acid, HNO3. She puts 905 mL of the acid in a flask along with a few drops of indicator. She then slowly adds 0.200 M Ba(OH)2 to the flask until the solution turns pink, indicating the equivalence point of the titration. She notes that 235 mL of Ba(OH)2 was needed to reach the equivalence point. Required:
a. How many moles of Ba(OH)2 are present in 225 mL of 0.200 M Ba(OH)2?
b. How many moles of HNO3 are present if 4.50 x 10^2 mol of Ba(OH)2 was needed to neutralize the acid solution? (Express your answer numerically in moles)

See explanation

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2HNO3(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) >Ba(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

a) The number of moles of  Ba(OH)2  = 225/1000 *  0.200

= 0.045 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of HNO3 require 1 mole of  Ba(OH)2

x moles of HNO3 require 4.50 x 10^2 mol of Ba(OH)2

x = 4.50 x 10^2 * 2/1

x = 9  x 10^2 moles of HNO3

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
