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

    1. Convert Units:

    * Volume of HCl gas (L): 2.14 L (already in liters)

    * Pressure of HCl gas (atm): 2.61 atm (already in atmospheres)

    * Temperature of HCl gas (K): 28 °C + 273.15 = 301.15 K

    * Volume of water (L): 668 mL / 1000 mL/L = 0.668 L

    2. Use the Ideal Gas Law to find moles of HCl:

    * Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT

    * P = Pressure (atm)

    * V = Volume (L)

    * n = Number of moles

    * R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L⋅atm/mol⋅K)

    * T = Temperature (K)

    * Solve for n (moles of HCl):

    * n = PV / RT

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

    * n ≈ 0.222 moles of HCl

    3. Calculate Molarity:

    * Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution

    * M = 0.222 moles HCl / 0.668 L solution

    * M ≈ 0.332 M

    Therefore, the molarity of the hydrochloric acid solution is approximately 0.332 M.
