(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 % wlv of nitric acid used. Describe how you would prepare the nitric acid solution used from a 1 M nitric acid solution (10 marks) (b) Solution R contains the mildly soluble hydroxide of trivalent metal X as well as the highly soluble bromide of X. 25 mL of R required 20.65 mL of 0.0109 M sulfuric acid for complete neutralization. Given that the molar solubility of the hydroxide in pure water is 0.014 M. determine the molarity of X in solution R. (10 marks)
