A commercially sold conc. HCl is 35 % HCl by mass. If the density of this commercial acid is 1 . 46 g / mL , the molarity of this solution is : (Atomic mass : Cl = 35 . 5 amu , H = 1 amu )
Options
- A10 . 2   M
- B14 . 0   M
- C12 . 5   M
- D18 . 2   M
Correct answer
B. 14 . 0   M
Step-by-step solution
Molarity M = x × d × 10 m B = 35 × 1 . 46 × 10 36 . 5 = 14   M m B = molecular mass of solute d = density of the solution in g / L x = % solute by mass.
