Well first, we determine the molar concentration of the mother acid.
...........and finally we get a required volume of
Explanation:
And if we specify a
We have
So that is our mother acid. And as you know WE ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER AND NEVER THE REVERSE. Because if you spit in acid it will spit back.............
And thus, we want a molar quantity of
And so we divide this molar quantity by the concentration of the conc. nitric..........
And so we dilute (IN THIS ORDER),
