Answer :
Answer:
262.8 g
Explanation:
Molarity = 3.0M
Mass = ?
Volume = 2.40L
The relationship between these quantities is given as;
Molarity = Number of moles / Volume
Number of moles = Molarity * Volume
Number of moles = 3 * 2.4 = 7.2 mol
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g/mol
Mass = 7.2 * 36.5 = 262.8 g
Answer:
262.44 grams of HCl is contained in 2.40 L of a 3.0 M solution.
Explanation:
Molarity (M) or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume.
Molarity is calculated as the number of moles divided by the volume of the solution:
[tex]Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume of solution}[/tex]
Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].
In this case:
- Molarity= 3 M
- Number of moles of solute= ?
- Volume of solution= 2.4 L
Replacing:
[tex]3 M=\frac{number of moles of solute}{2.40 L}[/tex]
and solving you get:
number of moles of solute= 3 M* 2.40 L
number of moles of solute= 7.2 moles
Being the molar mass of HCl 36.45 g/mole, then you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole has 36.45 grams, 7.2 moles how much mass does it have?
[tex]mass of HCl=\frac{7.2 moles*36.45 grams}{1 mole}[/tex]
mass of HCl= 262.44 grams
262.44 grams of HCl is contained in 2.40 L of a 3.0 M solution.
