Chapter SM, Problem 18PQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $12\text{ M HCl}$ solution that is required to prepare exactly $500\text{ mL}$ of a $0.60\text{ M HCl}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The molarity equation is used if a solution of high molarity is provided and its dilute solution is to be formed by addition of extra solvent.

The expression for molarity equation is as follows:

  ${\text{M}}_{\text{1}}{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}={\text{M}}_{\text{2}}{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$        (1)

Here,

  ${\text{M}}_{\text{1}}$ is molarity of initial solution.

  ${\text{V}}_{\text{1}}$ is volume of initial solution.

  ${\text{M}}_{\text{2}}$ is molarity of final solution.

  ${\text{V}}_{\text{2}}$ is volume of final solution.
