How would you make 0.1 N HCL using 12M HCL?
To make a 0.1 N HCl solution using 12M HCl, you will need to dilute the 12M HCl with water. The dilution factor can be calculated using the formula:
C1V1 = C2V2
Where C1 is the initial concentration (12M), V1 is the initial volume (unknown), C2 is the final concentration (0.1N), and V2 is the final volume (which will be 1 liter for convenience).
Now let's solve for V1:
(12M) x V1 = (0.1N) x (1L)
V1 = (0.1N) x (1L) / (12M)
V1 = 0.00833 liters
To convert this volume to milliliters (ml), you can multiply it by 1000:
V1 (ml) = 0.00833 L x 1000 ml/L
V1 (ml) = 8.33 ml
Therefore, to make a 0.1 N HCl solution from 12M HCl, you will need to take 8.33 ml of 12M HCl and dilute it to a final volume of 1 liter using distilled water. Be sure to mix it thoroughly for a homogenous solution.
