Concentrated `HNO_(3)` is 69% by mass of nitric acid. Calculate the volume of the solution which contains `23 g` of `HNO_(3)`. (Density of concentrated `HNO_(3)` solution is `1.41 g ml^(-1))`

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we need to calculate the volume of the concentrated HNO₃ solution that contains 23 g of HNO₃, given that the solution is 69% by mass and has a density of 1.41 g/ml.

### Step 1: Determine the mass of the solution that contains 23 g of HNO₃.

Since the solution is 69% HNO₃ by mass, we can set up the following relationship:

\[
\text{Mass of HNO₃} = \text{Mass of solution} \times \frac{\text{Percentage of HNO₃}}{100}
