Correct answer: 14

  1. Take 1 L of solution

    Since molarity is moles per litre, let us consider 1 L=1000 mL1\,\text{L} = 1000\,\text{mL}1L=1000mL of the solution.

  2. Find mass of 1 L solution using density

    Given density = 1.4 g mL−11.4\,\text{g mL}^{-1}1.4g mL−1

    Mass of solution=1.4×1000=1400 g\text{Mass of solution} = 1.4 \times 1000 = 1400\,\text{g}Mass of solution=1.4×1000=1400g

  3. Use mass percentage to find mass of HNO3HNO_3HNO3​

    Mass percentage of HNO3=63%HNO_3 = 63\%HNO3​=63%

    Mass of HNO3=63100×1400=882 g\text{Mass of } HNO_3 = \frac{63}{100} \times 1400 = 882\,\text{g}Mass of HNO3​=10063​×1400=882g

  4. Convert mass of HNO3HNO_3HNO3​ to moles

    Molar mass of HNO3=63 g mol−1HNO_3 = 63\,\text{g mol}^{-1}HNO3​=63g mol−1

    Moles of HNO3=88263=14 mol\text{Moles of } HNO_3 = \frac{882}{63} = 14\,\text{mol}Moles of HNO3​=63882​=14mol

  5. Calculate molarity

    Since these 14 moles are present in 1 L1\,\text{L}1L of solution,

    Molarity=141=14 M\text{Molarity} = \frac{14}{1} = 14\,\text{M}Molarity=114​=14M

Final Answer

14\boxed{14}14​
