The volume of 12.6 M HCl that must be added to enough water to prepare 5.00 litters of 3.00 M HCl is; 1.19 L
We are given;
Initial volume of HCl; V₁ = ?
Initial concentration of HCl; M₁ = 12.6 M
Final volume of HCl; V₂ = 5 L
Final concentration; M₂ = 3 M
To solve this, we will use one of the popular formulas in titration which is;
V₁ × M₁ = V₂ × M₂
Making V₁ the subject gives;
V₁ = (V₂ × M₂)/M₁
V₁ = (5 × 3)/12.6
V₁ = 1.19L
Thus, Volume of 12.6 M HCl to be added to water is 1.19 liters
