Question

A 3.0 M HCl(aq) solution contains a total of

(1) 3.0 grams of HCl per liter of water
(2) 3.0 grams of HCl per mole of solution
(3) 3.0 moles of HCl per liter of solution
(4) 3.0 moles of HCl per mole of water

Answer 1

Molarity = number of moles / volume in liters solution

Answer (3)

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (3) 3.0 moles of HCl per liter of solution

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of the solution. The S.I unit of molarity is mole per liter.

It is represented as,

`Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{V_(solution)(L)}`

where,

V = volume of solution in liter

As we are given 3.0 M HCl(aq) solution this means that 3.0 moles of HCl present in one liter of solution.

Hence, a 3.0 M HCl(aq) solution contains a total of 3.0 moles of HCl per liter of solution.
