JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

A commercially sold conc. \(HCl\) is \(35 \% HCl\) by mass. If the density of this commercial acid is \(1.46\) \(g / mL\), the molarity of this solution is ....\(M\) (Atomic mass : \(Cl =35.5 \,amu , H =1\, amu\) )

  1. A \(10.2\)
  2. B \(12.5\)
  3. C \(14.0\)
  4. D \(18.2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(14.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let total volume \(=1000 \,mL =1 \,L\) total mass of solution \(=1460 \,g\) mass of \(HCl =\frac{35}{100} \times 1460\) moles of \(HCl =\frac{35 \times 1460}{100 \times 36.5}\) So molarity \(=\frac{35 \times 1460}{100 \times 36.5}=14 \,M\)
