explain how you would make the following solution. You should tell how many grams of the substance you need to make the solution, not how many moles.

2L of 6M HCl

How many moles do you want?

M x L = moles
How many grams is that?
moles = grams/molar mass. Solve for grams.

To make a 2L solution of 6M HCl, we need to determine the number of grams of HCl required. To do this, we can use the formula:

Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / volume (L)

First, let's rearrange the formula to solve for moles:

moles (mol) = Molarity (M) x volume (L)

Now, substitute the given values:

moles (mol) = 6M x 2L = 12 mol

To find the grams of HCl, we need to use the molar mass of HCl. The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol (1g/mol for hydrogen + 35.46g/mol for chlorine).

Finally, multiply the moles by the molar mass:

grams = moles (mol) x molar mass (g/mol) = 12 mol x 36.46 g/mol ≈ 437.52 g

Therefore, to make a 2L solution of 6M HCl, you would need approximately 437.52 grams of HCl.
