A solution was prepared by mixing 20.00 mL of 0.100 M and 120.00 mL of 0.200 M. Calculate the molarity of the final solution of nitric acid.

0.186M

Explanation:

First, we need to obtain the moles of nitric acid that are given for each solution. Then, we need to divide these moles in total volume (120mL + 20mL = 140mL = 0.140L) to obtain molarity:

Moles Nitric acid:

0.0200L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.00200 moles

0.120L * (0.200mol / L)= 0.02400 moles

Total moles: 0.02400moles + 0.00200moles = 0.026 moles of nitric acid

Molarity: 0.026 moles / 0.140L

the answer

explanation:

the capillary tube was too close to the bottom of the beaker.

the ruler may have moved.

water got into the capillary tube.

the temperature was not allowed to equilibrate in the 2-4 minutes.
