Answer:
[HCl] = 14.7M in HCl
Explanation:
Definition of Molarity (M) = moles solute / Liters of Solution
Given 25.0% HCl (aq) => 25g HCl/100g Solution => ? moles HCl/Liter Solution
Convert 25g HCl to moles = moles solute
moles HCl => moles HCl = 25g HCl / 18.015g HCl/mole HCl = 1.387732 mole HCl = 1.4 moles HCl (2sig.figs.)
Determine Liters of Solution as follows:
Given 25% HCl Solution => 25g HCl/100 g Solution
100 g Solution = (100 g solution) / (1.05 g Solution/ml Solution )
= 95.2381 ml Solution x 1 Liter Solution/1000 ml Solution
= 0.0952 Liters Solution
Apply above mole and volume data to definition of mole.
∴Molarity = moles solute / Liters solution
= 1.4 moles solute (HCl)/0.0952 L solution
= 14.7 Molar in HCl(aq)
