What is the molarity of a HCl solution that contains 6.27 g of HCl in 163 mL of solution?
Answer in units of M.

M = 1.04 M

Explanation:

Given data

Molarity of solution = ?

Mass of HCl = 6.27 g

Volume of solution = 163 mL (163 mL× 1L /1000 mL = 0.163 L)

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.27 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

Molarity:

M = 0.17 mol/ 0.163 L

M = 1.04 M

it means there are 3 atoms of oxygen
