How do I start to solve this? I am so confused 

 

What moles of 0.416 Mg(NO3)should be added to 255mL of 0.102 M KNO3 to produce a solution with the concentration of 0.278 M NO3ions?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Note: Given formula is incorrect: Mg(NO3)3

As charge of Mg is always +2, therefore Correct formula: Mg(NO3)2

 

Given:

Concentration of Mg(NO3)2 = 0.416 M

Concentration of KNO3 = 0.102 M

Volume of of KNO3 = 255 mL = 0.255 M

Total concentration of  NO3- of solution = 0.278 M

let the volume of Mg(NO3)2 be 'x'
