Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the mass of a solution that experienced a temperature change in a hydrochloric acid (HCl) and water mixture, specifically in the context of a chemistry lab assignment. The focus is on understanding the parameters provided and the assumptions that can be made regarding the density of HCl.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on how to calculate the mass of the solution based on the temperature change and given data.
  • Another participant asks for the specific information provided to the original poster to better understand the situation.
  • The original poster provides the mass of the solution as 60.0 g, along with initial and final temperatures.
  • A later reply asserts that the mass of the solution is already given as 60.0 g and questions whether additional information is missing.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus, as there is a disagreement about whether further calculations are necessary based on the information provided.

Hello, I am trying to do a lab for Ap chemistry, but I am a bit confused on how to do the following:

Calculate the mass of solution that underwent the temperature change, assuming the density of HCl is the same as water
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is given to you?
 
Mass of solution: 60.0 g
Initial Temperature: 22.7 degrees celsius
Final temperature: 37.9 degrees celsius

thats pretty much it.
 
So mass of the solution is 60.0g, period. Nothing to calculate.

Unless you have not told everything.
