A solution is prepared by dissolving 20g of HCl
into enough water to make 300.0mL of solution. Calculate its molarity.
Answers
Given :
Mass of HCl = 20g
Volume of the solution = 300mL
To Find :
Molarity of the solution.
Solution :
• Definition : Number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre (or one dm³) of solution
• Effect of temperature : Changes with change in temperature.
• Symbol : M
• Unit : Moles per litre
• Formula : M = n × 1000 / V(ml)
- n denotes moles of solute
- V(ml) denotes volume in ml
Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol
Moles of HCl = 20/36.5 = 0.55
By substituting the given values;
➙ M = n × 1000 / V(ml)
➙ M = 0.55 × 1000/300
➙ M = 5.5/3
➙ M = 1.83 moles/litre
