Answer:
Take approx 41.7 mL of 12-M HCl in a 1.00-L flask and fill the rest of the volume with distilled water.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the dilution process from concentrated 12-M hydrochloric acid to 1.00 L of the diluted 0.50M hydrochloric acid, the volume of concentrated HCl you must take is computed by considering that the moles remain constant for all dilution processes as shown below:
[tex]n_1=n_2[/tex]
Which can also be written in terms of concentrations and volumes:
[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]
Thus, solving for the initial volume or aliquot that must be taken from the 12-M HCl, we obtain:
[tex]V_1=\frac{M_2V_2}{M_1} \\\\V_1=\frac{1.00L*0.5M}{12M}\\ \\V_1=0.0417L=41.7mL[/tex]
It means that you must take approx 41.7 mL of 12-M HCl in a 1.00-L flask and fill the rest of the volume with distilled water for such preparation.
Best regards.
