Stoichiometry, balancing equations
« on: February 01, 2009, 09:47:56 PM »
1) A 5 mL sample of nitric acid required 13.25 mL of 0.0842 M strontium hydroxide for titration.  Calculate the molarity of the acid solution.
 - I am having trouble coming up with a balanced equation for this problem.  Please help me with that.

Start writing the balanced equation by writing out the words for the reactants as chemical formulas.  Then, try to predit products and balance.  Note:  the mL and molarity aren't used when you write a balanced equation.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
