What is the volume of the solution?
1.2L is the volume
I think I'm doing the same lab as you. So what I did was find the new concentration of nitric acid in the solution (because by adding it to water, you've just diluted ur concentration). I got .167. Since nitric acid is a strong acid, it dissociates completely, right? So the H+ concentration is .167M and so you take the -log of that and get your pH. Does that make sense?
