Question

Consider this question: What is the molarity of HCL if 35.23 mL of a solution of HCL contains 0.3366 g of HCL?

Answer 1

Answer: The molarity of HCl solution is 0.262 M

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Given mass of HCl = 0.3366 g

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 35.23 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of HCl}=\frac{0.3366g\times 1000}{36.5g/mol\times 35.23mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of HCl}=0.262M$

Hence, the molarity of HCl solution is 0.262 M.
