Hydrochloric Acid

[josephcollins]

Could someone please give me a hand with this:

A solution of hydrochloric acid was standardised by titration and found to be 0.123 M. How much water must be added to 1dm3 of this solution to make it exactly:
a. 0.1M and b. 0.12M ?

Thanks ppl

Hello,

One liter of 0,123 M HCl means 0,123 mole of HCl is present in the solution. So if you want a) 0,1 M, you'll need to add: 0,1=(0,123/V)=1,23; and therefore 230 milliliters.

b) A 0,12 M of HCl solution from 0,123 M solution is prepared by adding: 0,12=0,123/V=1,025; and therefore, 25 milliliters of water.

Please note that you already have 1000 milliliters of solution, so the resulting new volume indicates the amount added, starting from 1000 milliliters.
