Question

How many moles of HCl are in 30.00mL of a 0.1000M HCl solution? A. 0.003000mol. B. 300.0mol C. 0.03000mol D. 3.000mol

Answer 1

Given the volume of HCl solution = 30.00 mL

Molarity of HCl solution = 0.1000 M

Molarity, moles and volume are related by the equation:

Molarity = $\frac{Moles of solute}{Volume of solution (L)}$

Converting volume of HCl from mL to L:

$30.00 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000mL}=0.030000 L$

Calculating moles of HCl from volume in L and molarity:

$0.03000 L * \frac{0.1000mol}{L}= 0.003000 mol HCl$

The final moles would be reported to 4 sig figs. So the correct answer will be 0.03000 mol HCl

Correct option: C. 0.03000mol
