How do you dilute 68 percent of nitric acid to 200 liters of water if you want 10 percent concentration of nitric acid?

This is the easiest way, though not "scientifically correct":
Liters concentrated HNO3 = [ 200 L diluted HNO3 * 10 % ] / [ 68% ] = 29.4 L of the 68%
Take the calculated amount and carefully add this to 171 L of water while good mixing!
(if you take 30 L (easier measurable!) in stead, then with 170 L water you get about 200 L of 10.2% diluted acid)

Why hydrogen is liberated when magnesium react with dilute nitric acid unlike other metals where hydrogen is not evolved?
This may due to Magnesium metal has high reactivity and concentration of nitric acid is dilute, thus magnesium reacts with H+ in water/ in nitric acid to give hydrogen
Is nitric acid a dilute acid?
Nitric acid can be dilute or concentrated. This is simply a matter of how much of it you have in a given amount of a solution, which is variable.
Does copper react with dilute nitric acid?
Cu + 2HNO3 -> Cu(NO3)2 + H2 Ideally, yes. How dilute? In school experiments the nitric acid would be dilute.
How do you raise the pH of nitric acid?
By diluting the concentration of nitric acid (and the concentration of H+).
Why does only dilute nitric acid react with dry sodium carbonate?
When sodium bicarbonate reacts with nitric acid, sodium nitrate salt is formed along with carbonic acid (double replacement reaction), which immediately decomposes to water and gaseous carbon dioxide (which explains the fizzing). The concentration of the nitric acid affects the rate of reaction, the more dilute it is, the slower the reaction will progress. The more pure the nitric acid, the faster the reaction will take place.

Is dilute HNO3 an electrolyte?
Nitric acid is an electrolyte.
What is the pH of HNO3?
HNO3 is nitric acid. De[emdimng on its level of concentration it can vary from '0' (very concentrated ; 16M) to '3'. ) low concentration (dilute ' say 0.6 M).
What is the reaction between silver and dilute nitric acid?
confusion
How is potassium hydroxide different from dilute nitric acid?
Potassium hydroxide is a powerful base with a pH of 14. Dilute nitric acid is a strong acid with a pH of between 0-1 usually.
Drops of nitric or sulfric acid fall to the ground as?
Dilute nitric and sulfuric acid fall to earth as acid rain.
Which of the following metals reacts with dilute nitric acid?
zinc and copper
