  • Calculating Molarity of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Solution: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the molarity of the hydrochloric acid solution:

    1. Convert Temperature to Kelvin:

    * T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15

    * T(K) = 28°C + 273.15 = 301.15 K

    2. Use the Ideal Gas Law to Find Moles of HCl:

    * PV = nRT

    * P = Pressure (atm) = 2.61 atm

    * V = Volume (L) = 2.14 L

    * n = Moles (mol)

    * R = Ideal Gas Constant = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K

    * T = Temperature (K) = 301.15 K

    * Rearrange the equation to solve for n:

    * n = PV / RT

    * n = (2.61 atm * 2.14 L) / (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K * 301.15 K)

    * n ≈ 0.223 mol HCl

    3. Calculate the Molarity:

    * Molarity (M) = Moles of solute / Liters of solution

    * Moles of solute = 0.223 mol HCl

    * Liters of solution = 668 mL = 0.668 L (remember to convert mL to L)

    * M = 0.223 mol HCl / 0.668 L

    * M ≈ 0.334 M

    Therefore, the molarity of the hydrochloric acid solution is approximately 0.334 M.
