CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of CaCO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl. The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.09 g/mol, so 1.25 grams of CaCO3 is equal to 1.25 / 100.09 = 0.0125 moles of CaCO3.
Since 0.0125 moles of CaCO3 reacts with 25.5 mL of HCl solution, the molarity of the HCl solution can be calculated as follows:
Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
Molarity = 0.0125 moles / (25.5 mL / 1000) L
Molarity = 0.0125 moles / 0.0255 L
Molarity = 0.489 M
Therefore, the molarity of the HCl solution is 0.489 M.
