How many mL of 6.0 M HCl solution will provide 164 g of HCl?
1 Answer
Explanation:
The idea here is that you need to determine how many moles you get in
So, hydrochloric acid has a molar mass of
#164color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) * "1 mole HCl"/(36.46color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g")))) = "4.498 moles HCl"#
As you know, molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in this case is hydrochloric acid, divided by liters of solution
#color(blue)("molarity" = "moles of solute"/"liters of solution")#
A
#c = n/V implies V = n/c#
#V = (4.498color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles"))))/(6.0color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles")))/"L") = "0.7497 L"#
Rounded to two sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the molarity of the solution, the answer will be
#V = color(green)("0.75 L")#
