MCQ
A commercially sold conc. $HCl$ is $35 \% HCl$ by mass. If the density of this commercial acid is $1.46$ $g / mL$, the molarity of this solution is ....$M$

(Atomic mass : $Cl =35.5 \,amu , H =1\, amu$ )

  • A
    $10.2$
  • B
    $12.5$
  • $14.0$
  • D
    $18.2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$14.0$
c
Let total volume $=1000 \,mL =1 \,L$

total mass of solution $=1460 \,g$

mass of $HCl =\frac{35}{100} \times 1460$

moles of $HCl =\frac{35 \times 1460}{100 \times 36.5}$

So molarity $=\frac{35 \times 1460}{100 \times 36.5}=14 \,M$
