An aqueous 2.00 M hydrochloric acid solution is prepared with a total volume of 0.350 L. The molecular
weight of hydrochloric acid is 36.468
mol
What mass of hydrochloric acid (in grams) is needed for the solution?

Respuesta :

Answer : The mass of hydrochloric acid (in grams) needed for the solution is, 25.5 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Molarity of [tex]HCl[/tex] = 2.00 M

Volume of solution = 0.350 L

Molar mass of [tex]HCl[/tex] = 36.468 g/mole

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

[tex]\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

[tex]2.00M=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{36.468g/mole\times 0.350L}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mass of }HCl=25.5g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of hydrochloric acid (in grams) needed for the solution is, 25.5 grams.
