Armando Landry · Answer 1

Stock bottle weight to weight percentage is 37 %. This means that 1000 g of solution would contain 370 g of HCl.

therefore number of moles of HCl in 1000g - 370 g / 36.5 g/mol = 10.1 mol

the density of solution is 1.19 g/ml

volume of 1 mL weighs - 1.19 g

then 10 mL would weigh - 11.9 g

so if 1000 g contains - 10.1 mol

then 11.9 g contains - 10.1 mol / 1000 g x 11.9 g = 0.120 mol

therefore number of HCl moles in 10 mL is 0.120 mol
