Experimental Procedure, Part C.3. The mass of a beaker is 5.333g. After 5.00mL of a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution is pipetted into the beaker, the combined mass of the beaker and the hydrochloric acid sample is 11.229g. From the data, what is the measured density of the hydrochloric acid solution?

The density of HCl solution is 1.18 g/mL

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of beaker = 5.333 g

Mass of HCl + beaker = 11.229 g

Mass of HCl = [11.229 - 5.333] g = 5.896 g

To calculate the density of substance, we use the equation:

Mass of HCl = 5.896 g

Volume of HCl = 5.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the density of HCl solution is 1.18 g/mL
