SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the formula weight of nitric acid (HNO3) given a concentration of 16 M and a density of 1.42 g/ml. Participants emphasize the importance of determining the formula weight (FW) of HNO3 to complete the calculation. The formula for converting moles to grams using the density and volume is outlined as (16 moles * FW grams/mole)/(1000 ml). This approach provides a clear method for solving the problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molarity and its calculation

16 moles/1000 ml. You find the formula weight of HNO3 yourself; call the result, FW for "formula weight";
(16 moles *FW grams/mole)/(1000 ml.)
Can you do the rest?
