molarity of HCl

[Alejandro Krimer]

Dear Ruth:
	Remember tht molarity is expressed in mol of HCl/liter of
solution.

	The correct way is:

	1 liter- 1.19 Kg - 1190 g of solution
	HCl is 37 % --- 1190*37/100 = 440.3 g of HCl
	If MW is 36.36, we have 440.3/36.36 = 12.11 mol HCl/liter of
solution
	This is the molarity
	Hope help you!
