calculate the mass of sodium trioxonitrate(v) produced when 3.0g of pure sodium hydroxide reacts with 100cm3 of 1.0m trioxonitrate(v) acid what is the solution

Question

oobleck · Accepted Answer

NaOH + HNO3 = NaNO3 + H2O 100cm^3 of 1M HNO3 contains 0.1 mole of solute 3.0g of NaOH is 3/40 = 0.075 moles so, you will get 0.075 moles of NaNO3

I do not believe trioxonitrate(v) acid is a correct IUPAC name for nitric acid (HNO3). That name has become relatively common on this site in about the last five years. A correct IUPAC name is nitric acid for the formula HNO3. As best I can determine, if you insist on the screwball system, then it should be called trioxidonitrate (not trioxo) and that is acceptable as an IUPAC name also. For the life of me, however, I just can't understand why we try to complicate matters so much. Chemistry is not one of those household careers. It is hard enough as is; why do we need to make it more intimidating. I have heard hundreds of students who don't want to take chemistry because it's "too hard". So we make it more complicated instead of less so. Too bad!
