Answer: 418.6 mL of stock solution of HCl will be needed to prepare the required amount of solution.
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of stock solution required to prepare the HCl solution, we use the following equation:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the molarity and volume of Stock HCl solution
[tex]M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the molarity and volume of required HCl solution.
We are given:
Conversion factor: 1L = 1000mL
[tex]M_1=6.45M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.6M\\V_2=4.5L=4500mL[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]6.45\times V_1=0.6\times 4500\\\\V_1=418.6mL[/tex]
Hence, 418.6 mL of stock solution of HCl will be needed to prepare the required amount of solution.
