HNO3 Concentration versus pH
- Return to "Home" screen
- e-mail calculation inputs and results
- Share screen capture
- Select either to input HNO3 Acid concentration or fluid pH. According to the selection, the input textfield and the slider will be configured either to input HNO3 acid concentration value or HNO3 fluid pH value.
- According to the selection in step (4), the input textfield will be configured either to input H2SO4 acid concentration value or HNO3 fluid pH value.
- According to the selection in step (4), the slider will be configured either to input HNO3 acid concentration value or HNO3 fluid pH value (☆)
(☆) When "pH" is selected in step (4), the slider minimum value will be 0 pH and the maximum value will be 7 pH. When "Concentration %" is selected in step (4), the slider minimum value will be 0.000001 % and the maximum value will be 20 %. The pH value of HNO3 acid concentrations higher than 11-12 % is typically 0.

(?) Normality is similar in concept to molarity. Where molarity (M) represents the concentration of an ion or compound in solution, normality (N) represents the molar concentration only of the acid component (usually the H+ ion in an acid solution). Typically N = (M)(number of hydrogen or hydroxide ions).
