1. (a) Sodium nitrate is a common preservative utilized in processed meats. Industrially, it is prepared by the neutralization reaction of nitric acid and sodium carbonate. In an experiment utilizing this method, 4 grams of sodium nitrate was obtained which corresponded to 73 % yield. Given that 75 mL of nitric acid was reacted with excess sodium carbonate, determine the % w/v of nitric acid used. Describe how you would prepare the nitric acid solution used from a 1 M nitric acid solution. (10 marks)
