Answer: The mass of concentrated nitric acid solution required is 58.82 g
Explanation:
To calculate the mass of concentrated solution, we use the equation:
[tex]c_1m_1=c_2m_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]c_1\text{ and }m_1[/tex] are the concentration and mass of concentrated solution.
[tex]c_2\text{ and }m_2[/tex] are the concentration and mass of diluted solution.
We are given:
[tex]c_1=68\%\\m_1=?g\\c_2=10\%\\m_2=400g[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]68\times m_1=10\times 400\\\\m_1=58.82g[/tex]
Hence, the mass of concentrated nitric acid solution required is 58.82 g
