  • Calculating HCl Concentration: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

    2. Determine the moles of NaOH used:

    Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / volume (L)

    moles NaOH = Molarity * volume

    moles NaOH = 6.90 M * 0.0164 L = 0.113 mol

    3. Use the stoichiometry of the balanced equation to find moles of HCl:

    The balanced equation shows a 1:1 mole ratio between HCl and NaOH. This means that 0.113 moles of NaOH reacted with 0.113 moles of HCl.

    4. Calculate the concentration of the HCl solution:

    Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / volume (L)

    Molarity HCl = 0.113 mol / 0.300 L = 0.377 M

    Therefore, the concentration of the HCl solution is 0.377 M.
