Chapter 5, Problem 35QAP

Nitric acid can be prepared by bubbling dinitrogen pentoxide into water.

${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}\left(g\right)+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\to {\text{2H}}^{+}\left(aq\right)+{\text{2NO}}_{\text{3}}{}^{-}\left(aq\right)$(a) How many moles of H⁺ are obtained when 1.50 L of N₂O₅ at 25°C and 1.00 atm pressure is bubbled into water?

(b) The solution obtained in (a) after reaction is complete has a volume of 437 mL. What is the molarity of the nitric acid obtained?
