What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.56g1.56g of gaseous HClHCl Whose molar mass is 36.5gmol136.5gmo{l^{ - 1}} into enough water to make 26.8ml26.8ml of solution?

Explanation

Solution

Molarity is one of the units used to express the amount of concentration. It can be determined by taking the mass of the sample, molar mass of solute, and volume of solution in liters or milliliters. By substituting all the above values, molarity will be obtained.
Formula used:
M=wm×1000VM = \dfrac{w}{m} \times \dfrac{{1000}}{V}
MM is molarity
ww is weight of gaseous hydrochloric acid
mm is molarity of gaseous hydrochloric acid
VV is the volume of solution in millilitres

Complete answer:
Molarity is also known as molar concentration, that can be defined as the amount of solute that dissolved in the volume of solution in litres.
Given that a gaseous hydrochloric acid is taken whose mass is given by 1.56g1.56g and the molar mass of gaseous hydrochloric acid is given as 36.5gmol136.5gmo{l^{ - 1}}
The volume of solution in millilitres is given as 26.8ml26.8ml
Substitute all the values in the above formula, to determine the molarity
M=1.5636.5×100026.8M = \dfrac{{1.56}}{{36.5}} \times \dfrac{{1000}}{{26.8}}
By simplifying all the above values, the molarity of gaseous hydrochloric acid will be M=1.59M = 1.59
Thus, molarity of of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.56g1.56g of gaseous HClHCl Whose molar mass is 36.5gmol136.5gmo{l^{ - 1}} into enough water to make 26.8ml26.8ml of solution is 1.59M1.59M

Note:
While calculating the molarity, the exact molar mass should be taken from the molar mass of all the atoms based on the periodic table. The volume of solution must be clearly identified whether it is given in litres or millilitres. If it is given in millilitres, then the volume should be multiplied with a factor of 10001000 as one litre is equal to 10001000 millilitres.
