Calculate the mass of 3.4 moles of nitric acid (HNO3). Explain the process or show your work by including all values used to determine the answer. (5 points)
Firstly, determine the molar mass of nitric acid. There is 1 atom of Hydrogen, 1 atom of Nitrogen, and three atoms of Oxygen. Determine their individual masses and add the multiple of each other to find the total molar mass of the compound:
1H+1N+3O=1(1.0079)+1(14.0067)+3(15.9994)=63.0128
Therefore, the molar mass is 63.0128 g/mol HNO3.
Next, in order to determine the mass of 3.4 of HNO3, an appropriate conversion factor needs to be found. Since the conversion is from moles to mass, the following formula is needed: Given moles of a sample * (molar mass of compound) ÷ (1 mole) = mass of a sample. Hence, the conversion is 3.4 mol * (63.0128 g/mol)/1 mol = x.
3.4⋅63.01281=214.24g. Therefore, the mass of 3.4 moles of nitric acid is 214.24 grams.
