Answer: 0.5 moles
Explanation:
Nitric acid has a chemical formula of HNO3.
Given that:
Amount of moles of HNO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Volume of HNO3 solution = 2L
Molarity of HCl solution = 1M
Recall that molarity of a solution is obtained by dividing the amount of moles by volume in liters
i.e Molarity = Amount in moles/volume
1M = Z x 2L
Z = (1M / 2L)
Z = 0.5 moles
Thus, 0.5 moles of nitric acid are needed to make 2 liters of its solution.
