According to the label on a bottle of concentrated hydrochloric acid, the contents are $36.0 \%$ HCl by mass and have a density of $1.18 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ a. What is the molarity of concentrated HCl? b. What volume of it would you need to prepare $0.250 \mathrm{L}$ of $2.00 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}^{2}$ c. What mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate would be needed to neutralize the spill if a bottle containing 1.75 L of concentrated HCl dropped on a lab floor and broke open?

Key Concepts

Percent by Mass

Percent by mass is a way of expressing the concentration of a component in a mixture. It indicates the mass of a solute in a specific mass of the solution and is used to determine the actual mass of the solute present when the total mass or volume of the solution is known.

Acid-Base Neutralization

Acid-base neutralization is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to form water and a salt. This concept is fundamental for reactions involving the neutralization of spills or the titration processes, where precise amounts of a neutralizing agent must be calculated based on the strength and volume of the acid or base present.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It relies on balanced chemical equations to relate quantities (in moles, mass or volume) of the substances involved, ensuring that the correct proportions are used for desired reactions.

Density

Density describes the mass of a substance per unit volume. In solution chemistry, density is crucial for converting between mass and volume, particularly when dealing with concentrated solutions whose composition is given as a mass percentage.

Molarity

Molarity is a concentration unit that expresses the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It provides a way to relate the amount of substance to the volume in which it is dissolved, making it essential for preparing solutions and for stoichiometric calculations in reactions.
