List the steps necessary to make 750 mL of a 0.10 M HCI solution given the concentration of HCI from the manufacturer is 12 M

Answer 1

You can simply use V1M1 = V2M2

(x ml)(12 M) = (750 ml)(0.10 M)

x = 6.25 ml

Place a large volume of water in a beaker (about 700 mls H₂O). Measure out 6.25 ml of the 12 M HCl. Carefully add this to the H₂O in the beaker, and mix. Transfer contents of beaker to a 750 ml volumetric flask and rinse beaker with additional H₂O. Transfer the rinse to the volumetric flask. Bring the final volume in the volumetric flask to 750 ml.
