How much quantity in mL of concentrated 12 M hcl (aq) is needed to prepare a 250mL of 0.5 M hcl solution?

10.41 mL of concentrated 12 M HCl (aq) is needed to prepare a 250mL of 0.5 M HCl solution

Explanation:

Dilution is the procedure to prepare a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated one. The amount of solute does not vary, but the volume of the solvent varies. More solvent is added and the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume of the solution increases.

In this case it is fulfilled:

Vi * Ci = Vf * Cf

Vi = initial volume

Ci = initial concentration

Vf = final volume

Cf = final concentration

Being:

Replacing:

Vi*12 M= 0.250 L* 0.5 M

Solving:

Vi= 0.01041 L= 10.41 mL

10.41 mL of concentrated 12 M HCl (aq) is needed to prepare a 250mL of 0.5 M HCl solution

false

because it does not have the potential to be entirely used up
