Question

Calculate the molarity of a solution made by diluting 0.083 L of 0.14 M HCl solution to a volume of 1.0 L. Enter your answer in scientific notation. Be sure to answer all parts. x 10 (select) M HCI

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute present in liter of solution.

Mathematically, Molarity =
`\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{Volume in liter}}`

Also, when number of moles are equal in a solution then the formula will be as follows.

`M_(1) * V_(1) = M_(2) * V_(2)`

It is given that
`M_(1)` is 0.14 M,
`V_(1)` is 0.083 L, and
`V_(2)` is 1.0 L.

Hence, calculate the value of
`M_(2)` using above formula as follows.

`M_(1) * V_(1) = M_(2) * V_(2)`

`0.14 M * 0.083 L = M_(2) * 1.0 L`

`M_(2) = (0.01162 M.L)/(1 L)`

= 0.01162 M

Thus, we can conclude that the molarity of a solution is 0.01162 M.
