A student should start with 4.74 mL of the 12.0 M HCl to prepare 65.0 mL of 0.875 M HCl from 12.0 M HCl.
Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution.
Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per liters of a solution.
Molarity is also known as the molar concentration of a solution.
Formula used for the given question ;
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
V₁ = 0.875M x 65.0 mL / 12.0 M HCl.
= 4.74 ml
Therefore , A student should start with 4.74 mL of the 12.0 M HCl to prepare 65.0 mL of 0.875 M HCl from 12.0 M HCl.
