Answer 2

Answer: The concentration of the stock solution will be 6.00 M.

Explanation: To calculate the molarity of the stock solution we use the formula:

`M_1V_1=M_2V_2`

where,

`M_1\text{ and }V_1` are the molarity and volume of the stock solution.

`M_2\text{ and }V_2` are the molarity and volume of the HCl solution.

Given:

`M_1=?M\\V_1=35mL\\M_2=1.40M\\V_2=150mL`

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`M_1* 35=1.40* 150`

`M_1=6M`

So, the concentration of the stock solution is 6M.
