Answer:

12.10 mol / 1 L

Explanation:

Molarity of a substance , is the number of moles present in a liter of solution .

M = n / V

M = molarity ( unit = mol / L or M )

V = volume of solution in liter ( unit = L ),

n = moles of solute ( unit = mol ),

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

The data given is as follows -

w = 439 g

As , we known for HCl ,

m = 36.46 g/mol

V = 1 L

From the above data ,

Moles are given as -

n = w / m

n = 439 / 36.26 = 12.10 mol ,

Now , the molarity is given as ,

M = n / V

M = 12.10 mol / 1 L

M = 12.10 mol /L
