Answer:

Answer:

5g NaOH

Explanation:

Required Neutralization Reaction :

NaOH + HNO3 ----> NaNO3 + H2O

We have to neutralize 250 cm³ of 0.5 M HNO3

Molaritly (M) = no. of moles of solute(n) x 1000/ vol of soln in cm³

0.5 (nx1000)/ 250 =

125 = n x 1000

n = 125/1000

n = 0.125 moles of HNO3

According to the reaction 1 mole of NaOH neutralize 1 mole of HNO3

• 1 mole of HNO3 is neutralized by = 1 mole of NaOH

mole of NaOH

0. 125 moles of HNO3 neutralized by =

0.125 moles of NaOH.

1 mole of NaOH has its mass equal to the Gram molecular weight (GMM) of NaOH.

1 GMM of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1

= 40 g

•°• O. 125 moles of NaOH weigh = 40 × 0.

125

= 5 g

Therefore, 5g of NaOH is required to neutralize 250cm³ of 0.5M of nitric acid.
