Welcome to OpenStudy. I think you need the balanced ionic equation for this.

aaronq · Answer

you can assume that any strong acid is fully dissociated when mixed with water, i.e. it exists solely as H3O^+ and NO3^-. Since this is a monoprotic acid (only 1 acidic proton), [HNO3]=[H3O^+]

how do you calculate it?

wolfe8 · Answer

From the balanced equation you will calculate it as you would any chemical reaction- using mole ratio.
