Question

Concentrated hydrochloric acid is an aqueous solution that is 34.70 % HCl. The density of the solution is 1.19 g/mL. What mass of HCl is contained in 0.356 L of solution?

Answer 1

The mass of HCl that is contained in the solution is 147 g HCl

Why?

To find the mass of HCl we have to apply what is called a conversion factor. In a conversion factor we put the units we don't want at the bottom, and the ones we want at the top.

For this question, we want to go from liters of solution to mass of HCl, and the conversion factor is laid out as follows:

$0.356Lsolution*\frac{1000mL}{1L}*\frac{1.19 g solution}{1 mL solution}*\frac{34.70 g HCl}{100 g solution}=147 g HCl$

Have a nice day!
