Calculating number of moles in a solution
« on: November 13, 2007, 10:05:58 AM »
How do you calculate the number of moles of HNO3 reacting when 50.0 mL of 1.00M HNO3 and 50.5 mL of 1.00M NaOH solution are mixed.

Thank you for your help.

Use a definition of molar concentration - moles in 1 liter of solution. This means that moles are calculated by multiplying the molar concentration of solution by a volume in liters.
Your question concnerns moles before neutralization since your problem has an excess of NaOH. After moxing no HNO3 will be present in solution.
