What is the percent by mass of 12 M HCl?
Answers
Knowing the concentration is about 12 M
(it's specifically about 12.06 M ), we can assume a volume of 1 L
to calculate the mass density.
12 mols HCl /L solution × 36.4609 g /mol HCl = 437.5308 g HCl /L solution
Based on the mass density, we can calculate the mass percent by converting the solution volume to its mass.
12 mols HCl /L solution × 1 cm ³/1.17 g solution × 1 mL /1 cm³ × 1 L /1000 mL = 0.374
Or, about 37.4% w/w . Note that 37 % is actually reagent-grade, not commercial-grade, which is about 39 % . See if you can calculate the concentration in 39 % commercial-grade HCl! HINT: Use a ratio of the molar concentrations of the 37 % to the 39 % , and assume the density is similar enough.
hope its helps you
