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.
