Pennies minted after 1982 are mostly zinc (97.5%) with a copper cover. If a post-1982 penny is dissolved in a small amount of nitric acid, the copper coating reacts according to the
following equation:
3 Cu(s) + 8 HNO3(aq) →3 Cu(NO3)2(aq) +2 NO(g) + 4H₂O(1)
and the exposed zinc reacts according to the following equation:
Zn(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) → Zn(NO3)2(aq) + H₂ (9)


For a penny that weighs 2.483 g, what is the molarity of the Zn(NO3)2 if the resultant solution is diluted to 250.0 mL with water?
