Density = (0.9M x 36.46g/mol)/36 = 32.814/36 = 0.9115g/mL My problem is that I don't understand where the 36 came from for "weight", and I need to be able to show all unit measurements for each step. So my issue has 2 parts: 1) How was the Weight value determined to be 36 (I need to see the formula) 2) Where in the step-by-step process is mL in there so that after all cancellations/conversions are completed, the only remaining units are g/mL to show how 0.9115g/mL was arrived at.
I am trying to ascertain the density of 0.9-M HCl. The book provides a density of 1.0-M HCl as 1.016g/mL.
I know the Molecular Weight aka Molar Mass is 36.46g/mol
I also know that the equation to calculate the density in this instand is:
Density=(Molarity x Molecular Weight)/Weight
I have found examples online, and one answer provided here that shows the Density of 0.9-M HCl is 0.9115g/mL. That answer was arrived at as follows:
Density = (0.9M x 36.46g/mol)/36
= 32.814/36
= 0.9115g/mL
My problem is that I don't understand where the 36 came from for "weight", and I need to be able to show all unit measurements for each step.
