Chapter 16, Problem 16.20QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions in a solution of $\text{HCl}$ that is prepared by diluting $\text{20}\text{mL}$ of $11.6\text{M}$ $\text{HCl}$ to a final volume of $\text{500}\text{mL}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: A strong base or acid ionizes completely in an aqueous solution whereas a weak acid or base ionizes partially in an aqueous solution.

To determine: The concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions in a solution of $\text{HCl}$ that is prepared by diluting $\text{20}\text{mL}$ of $11.6\text{M}$ $\text{HCl}$ to a final volume of $\text{500}\text{mL}$.
