Re: Find Molarity Of HCL
The HCl Molecule is, at Standard Conditions, a Gas. The reagent used in laboratories is HCl dissolved in water, which is why you'll find in the label that it is around 37% HCl in weight. The other 63% is water. Considering 37% as the maximum solubility of HCl, you can calculate the molarity using the solution density (1.2 g/mL) and HCl's molar mass (36.46 g/mol). For 1000 mL of solution, you will have 1200g of weight, of which 37% is HCl: 444g. In 444g of HCl you have 12.18 moles (444/36.46), which means the concentration of P.A. HCl is around 12.18 moles per liter. Because P.A. HCl is a solution saturated with a gas, vapors are likely to be released and escape the solution (which is why P.A. HCl shouldn't be handled outside fume hoods), which makes this concentration an approximation, and it should never be used to prepare a solution which you need to know the exact acid concentration |
