A student is conducting a lab that requires 2 M HCL In the chemical closet, there is 150 ml of 8 M HCL. How much water must be
added to stock solution to get the desired molarity for the lab?
A) 150 mL
B) 450 mL
C) 600 mL
D) 1200 mL

answer:

Therefore, you will need to have 2.5 mL of the 1% HCl solution and 7.5 mL of distilled water. In mixing the two liquids, you should remember that the order of mixing would be acid to water. So, you use a 10 mL volumetric flask . Put small amount of distilled water and add the 2.5 mL of HCl solution. Lastly, dilute with distilled water up to the 10 mL mark.

Explanation:

let that person have a turn to speak : )

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
