Solid calcium hydroxide reacts with nitric acid to form calcium nitrate. The equation for the reaction is:Ca(OH)2(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)When 6.20g of solid calcium hydroxide is added to 250cm3 of nitric acid with a concentration of 42.17gdm-3 3.01g of water is formed.Calculate the mass concentration of the calcium nitrate formed.(Ignore the extra 3.01g of water formed).
