๐Ÿงช Calculating Molarity of Concentrated HCl

The first paragraph introduces the concept of solution stoichiometry with a specific example involving concentrated hydrochloric acid. Given that the acid is 36% HCl by mass with a density of 1.18 g/mL, the task is to find the molarity of the solution. The explanation involves converting the percentage by mass to a ratio, using the density to find grams of HCl per milliliter, and then converting to moles using the molar mass of HCl. The process concludes with the conversion of milliliters to liters to find the molarity, which is determined to be 11.7 M.

๐Ÿง‰ Preparing a Diluted HCl Solution

The second paragraph deals with a dilution problem where the goal is to prepare 283 mL of a 2.20 M solution of HCl using the concentrated HCl from the first paragraph. Recognizing this as a dilution scenario, the dilution formula M1V1 = M2V2 is applied. By identifying M1 as the molarity from the first part (11.7 M), M2 as 2.20 M, and V2 as 283 mL, the volume V1 of the concentrated HCl needed is solved for. The calculation yields 53.2 mL of the concentrated HCl is required to achieve the desired diluted solution.

๐Ÿงช Neutralizing a Spilled HCl Solution with Sodium Bicarbonate

The third paragraph addresses a chemical spill scenario where 1.75 liters of concentrated HCl have been spilled, and the task is to determine the mass of sodium bicarbonate needed to neutralize it. Using the previously calculated molarity of the HCl (11.7 M), the process involves converting liters of the spill to moles of HCl, applying the balanced chemical equation between HCl and sodium bicarbonate to establish a mole-to-mole relationship, and finally calculating the mass of sodium bicarbonate required using its molar mass. The molar mass calculation includes adding the atomic masses of sodium (22.99), hydrogen (1.01), carbon (12.01), and oxygen (3 x 16 = 48), resulting in a molar mass of 84.01 g/mol. The final calculation determines that 1,720 grams of sodium bicarbonate are needed for neutralization.
