4.) Please show that you've at least attempted the problem. We don't mind helping you solve problems but we are ethically opposed to doing homework for you. Violators will have their topic deleted or locked.


Hint: Begin by calculating the new diluted molarity of the nitric acid (HNO₃).

Well you see, this question is on a online assignment and I have never done these types of problems before.

This is what I did initially:

0.0350mol/L / .500L

then I used that answer for this formula:

pH = -log[ans]

Sorry I dont have a calculator on me right now, but whatever the answer was, it was incorrect (assignment marked right away by the computer)

c1 x V1 = c2 x V2

even with the Periodic Table (eg. type HNO3 + enter and you'll get 63.01284)
