What volume of a 6.0 M HCl solution is required to make 250.0 milliliters of a 1.5 M HCl?

0.38 liters

0.063 liters

0.25 liters

1.0 liters

1.5 liters

Verified Answer :

(6.0 M)V1=(1.5 M)(0.250 L)
V1= 0.063 L

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there are equal number of moles then molarity times volume of one solution equals the molarity times volume of another solution.

Mathematically,     \(M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\)

Since there are 1000 mL in 1 litre so, 250 mL equals 0.25 L. Therefore, calculate molarity as follows.

                        \(M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\)

                        \(6 M \times 0.25 L = 1.5 M \times V_{2}\)

                                \(V_{2}\) = 1 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of 1.5 M HCl is 1.0 L.
