Question

What precise volume of pure water must be added to a mixture of $250\text{ mL}$ of $6\text{ M } HCl$ and $650\text{ mL}$ of $3\text{ M } HCl$ to obtain a resulting solution of exactly $3\text{ M}$ concentration?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Total millimoles $= M_1 V_1 + M_2 V_2 = (250 \times 6) + (650 \times 3) = 1500 + 1950 = 3450\text{ mmol}$. For a $3\text{ M}$ solution, required final volume $V = 3450 / 3 = 1150\text{ mL}$. Initial volume $= 250 + 650 = 900\text{ mL}$. Volume of water to add $= 1150 - 900 = 250\text{ mL}$.
