To prepare 1L of 0.1M HCL from 37% HCL we need to first calculate the molarity of 37% HCL.
1. Molarity of 37% HCL :
1.2 g/ml * 1000ml * (0.37/36.5g/mol) = 12.1643 Molar
12 moles of HCL in 1 liter of solution makes 37% HCL
2. Now we can use the formula
M1V1= M2V2
Moles before dilution = Moles after dilution
Required molarity ( M2 )= 0.1M
Required Volume (V2) = 1L = 1000ml
Initial molarity( M1)= 12.1643M
Initail volume (V1) is to be calculated.
Therefore, V1 = M2V2/M1
V1 = 0.1*1000ml/ 12.1643 = 8.22077ml
You should add 8.2207 ml of 37% HCl to make 0.1 M HCL solution
