  • Conversion: 1000 mL = 1 L

Aqueous Solutions

  • Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

150 mL

1.2 M

x moles

Step 2: Identify Conversions

mL to L conversion

Step 3: Convert


\displaystyle 150 \ mL((1 \ L)/(1000 \ mL) ) = 0.15 L

Step 4: Solve for Moles

  1. Substitute [Molarity]:
    \displaystyle 1.2 \ M = (x \ moles \ HCl)/(0.15 \ L)
  2. Isolate x:
    \displaystyle 0.18 \ moles \ HCl = x
  3. Rewrite:
    \displaystyle x = 0.18 \ moles \ HCl

Step 5: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

Since our final answer is in 2 sig figs, there is no need to round.
