Step 1:
Substitute the given data into the equation. In this case, we have a volume of 0.325 liters and we need to find the number of moles of HNO3. So, we have: moles = 0.325 liters × M
Step 2:
We are given that the molarity of HNO3 is 16 mol HNO3 / 1 liter. So, we can substitute this value into the equation: moles = 0.325 liters × (16 mol HNO3 / 1 liter)
Step 3:
Simplify the equation by canceling out the units of liters: moles = (0.325 liters) × (16 mol HNO3 / 1)
Step 4:
Multiply the numerical values: moles = 5.2 mol HNO3 Therefore, the number of moles of HNO3 in 0.325 liters is 5.2 mol HNO3.

Final Answer

16 M HNO_3 solution

PLAN              Use the equation                                    moles = liters \times M

CALCULATE          moles= (0.325   \cancel{L}) (\frac{16   mole   HNO_3}{1  \cancel{L}} )=5.2 mol  HNO_3
