What volume of 6M HCl and 2M HCl should be mixed to get one litre of 3M HCl?

Answers (1)

Suppose the volume of 6M HCl required to prepare 1 L of 3M HCl = x L

Volume of 2M HCl required = (1-x) L

Apply molarity equation

M1V1 + M2V2 = M3V3

6 × (x) + 2 ( 1-x) = 3 x 1

6x + 2 - 2x = 3

4x +2 = 3

4x = 3 - 2

4x = 1

x = 1/4 = 0.25 L

so volume of 6M HCl required = 0.25 L

volume of 2M HCl required = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 L
