Question

How many grams of HCL are needed to make 500.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.44 g

Explanation:

The problem gives you the molarity and volume of the target solution, so right from the start you know that you can use that information to determine the number of moles of hydrochloric acid that it must contain.

So, molarity measures a solution's concentration in terms of how many moles of solute, which in your case is hydrochloric acid, you get per liter of solution.

A

0.158 M

hydrochloric acid solution contains

0.158

moles of hydrochloric acid for very liter of solution. Since you're dealing with

250 mL

, the equivalent of

=

0.0395 moles HCl

Now that you know how many moles of hydrochloric acid are needed to prepare your solution, use the compound's molar mass to convert this to grams

0.0395
