Chapter 15, Problem 15.21QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ ions in a $0.65\text{M}$ solution of ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The measure of concentration of ions in a solution gives the ionic strength of the solution. Concentration of ions in a solution depends on the mole ratio between the cations and anions and the dissolved substance.

To determine: The concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ ions in a $0.65\text{M}$ solution of ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}$.
