Question:

The commercial concentrated hydrochloric acid is rated at 38 w/w%. The density of the solution is 1.18 g/mL. Calculate the molarity of HCl, the molality of HCl, and the mole fraction of HCl.

Concentration


The concentration in terms of molarity (M) is defined as the moles of a substance present in 1 L of the solution and the molality (m) is defined as the moles of the substance present in 1 kg of the solvent.
