Answer:
0.098 moles
Explanation:
Let y represent the number of moles present
1 mole of Ba(OH)₂ contains 2 moles of OH- ions.
Hence, 0.049 moles of Ba(OH)2 contains y moles of OH- ions.
To get the y moles, we then do cross multiplication
1 mole * y mole = 2 moles * 0.049 mole
y mole = 2 * 0.049 / 1
y mole = 0.098 moles of OH- ions.
1 mole of OH- can neutralize 1 mole of H+
Therefore, 0.098 moles of HNO₃ are present.
