Refresh my memory - conversions

Recommended Posts

If I have 50 ml of 5% (by weight) aqueous HCl (density 1.02 g/ml), how do I convert that to moles? I'm looking for the moles of HCl.

For some reason, I'm having a memory block on converting an aqueous concentrated solution to moles. GRRR!!! HELP!!!

*Should probably not be doing this right now 'cause I'm tired, but....*

you need the molecular weight of HCl

H = 1.008 g/mol
Cl = 35.453 g/mol

so the total molecular weight is 36.5 g/mol (approximately)

now its just a matter of canceling stuff...

its a 5% by weight solution HCl so you have 50 ml x 0.05 =

2.5 ml of HCl

multiply by the density (2.5 ml of HCl) x 1.02 g/ml=

2.55 g of HCl

divide by the molecular weight (2.55g HCl) / (36.5g/mol) =

0.0699 moles of HCl

(and I'd like it if someone would check my math/approach...) its been almost a year since I've done this... :$

Conversion - calculating a TWA from a dosimeter reading. For example, finding a time weighted average from a noise dosimeter reading. Particularly helpful when the exposure period is longer than a standard eight-hour shift.

Maybe somebody will post a conversion related to skydiving. I wonder how many skydiving related conversions there are?

:$ Oh, damn...remind me not to do conversions after 10pm at night. Doh!!!!

Thanks, Icon! :)
Got your email, Squeak. Thanks! I was just having a brain block with the percent solution conversion. I had made it to the 2.5 ml of HCl and then my brain went blank. :$
