Answer:

100.0 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the dilution formula,

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

Where M₁ and M₂ are the initial and final molarity, V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final volume.

V₁ = 250 ml

M₁ = 1.2 M

M₂ = 3M

Plugging in the numbers in the dilution formula we get,

1.2 M x 250 ml = 3M x V₂

V₂ =
(1.2 M x 250 ml)/(3M) = 100 ml

Therefore, 100 ml of a 3.0 M HCl solution are required to make 250.0 milliliters of 1.2 M HCl.
