Answer 2

0.00663 grams/liter

Step-by-step explanation:

HCl is a mineral acid with a molar mass of 36.46 g/mol.

No. of moles= mass/RMM

Making mass the subject of the formula:

Mass=Number of moles × RMM

Therefore 0.00040 mol HCl has a mass of:

0.00040 mol × 36.46 g/ mol

=0.01458 grams.

0.01458 grams are in 2.2 liters, Therefore 1 liter will have

0.01458 grams/2.2 liters= 0.00663 grams

concentration= 0.00663 grams/liter
