A chemist must prepare 550.0 ml of hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of 1.60 at 25°C . He will do this in three steps: Fill a 550.0 ml volumetric flask about halfway with distilled water. Measure out a small volume of concentrated (8.0M) stock hydrochloric acid solution and add it to the flask. Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid that the chemist must measure out in the second step. Round your answer to significant digits.

Vol concentrated HCl needed = 1.73 ml

Explanation:

Prep 550 ml of HCl(aq) solution with pH = 1.60 at 25°C using 8M stock concentrate.

[HCl] = [H⁺] = 10⁻¹°⁶⁰M = 0.0251M HCl(aq)

Molarity Concentrate x Volume Concentrate = Molarity Dilute x Volume Dilute

8M x Vol Conc. = 0.0251M x 550ml

Vol Conc needed = 0.0251M x 550 ml / 8M = 1.73 ml of concentrate

Mixing => to the quantity of water in the mixing flask transfer 1.73 ml of the 8M HCl concentrate solution and dilute up to but not to exceed the calibration mark on the mixing flask.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

i'm wiling to try and you : )
