Homework Statement



To make 1000ml of 0.1M of Nitric acid with 65% Nitric acid.
Specific gravity= 1.42g/
Molecular weight= 63g/mol

Homework Equations


M = ((% x Specific gravity)/Molecular weight) x 10
cava = cfvf


The Attempt at a Solution

 
You could start with the number of moles of HNO3 you would want. If you know the moles of HNO3, then use formula weight to find number of grams of pure HNO3; but you know that your source is not pure, but instead is 65% w/w. so you have two more steps... can you derive them?
