QUESTIONS
a) Based on the information in Table 1, calculate the molarity of the concentrated HCl
solution.
Molarity of the concentrated HCl
37 1 mol 1.19 g 1000 mL
= × × ×
100 36.5 g 1 mL 1L
mol
= 12. 063
L
= 12. 063 M of concentrated HCl
b) What volume of the concentrated HCl is needed to prepare 250 mL 0.1 M HCl solution?
Using the dilution formula,
M1V1 = M2V2; M1 = 12.062 M, V1 =?, M2 = 0.1 M, V2 = 250 mL
12.063 (V1) = (0.1) (250)

V1 = mL
12.063
= 2.0725 mL
≈ 2.1 mL of HCl
c) Write a balanced equation for the reaction between HCl and Na2CO3.

= 0.068 M
CONCLUSION
To prepare a standard HCl solution, we need to find the molarity first by dividing the molar mass
from density of HCl and using the dilution equation to find the volume which is needed. From the
titration experiment that was conducted before, the accurate concentration of HCl is calculated to be
0.068 M.
