Given:
12.0 M HCl
2.0 liters of a 3.0 M HCl
Required:
volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid
Solution:
M1V1 = M2V2
(12.0 M HCl)V1 = (3.0 M HCl)( 2.0 liters)
V1 = (3.0 M HCl)( 2.0 liters)/ (12.0 M HCl)
V1 = 0.5 liters
Answer: The volume of concentrated HCl solution is 0.5 L
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of the concentrated HCl solution, we use the equation:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] = molarity and volume of the concentrated HCl solution
[tex]M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] = Molarity and volume of the diluted HCl solution
We are given:
[tex]M_1=12M\\V_1=?L\\M_2=3M\\V_2=2L[/tex]
Putting values in above equation:
[tex]12M\times V_1=3M\times 2L\\\\V_1=0.5L[/tex]
Hence, the volume of concentrated HCl solution is 0.5 L
