Question 50

You are given 500 ml of 2N HCl and 500 ml of 5N HCl. The maximum volume (in ml) of the 3 M that you can make from these two solutions is ___________.


Correct Answer: 750

Solution

For HCl, 3 M is 3 N. Mixing $$V_1$$ of 2 N with $$V_2$$ of 5 N gives $$2V_1 + 5V_2 = 3(V_1 + V_2)$$, so $$V_1 = 2V_2$$. Only 500 mL of the 2 N acid is available, so $$V_1 = 500$$ and $$V_2 = 250$$, giving at most 750 mL.
