How much hydrochloric acid (HCl) is necessary to make 2.5 liters of a 5:1 solution of water (in liters) to HCl (in grams)?

  • A. 0.5 grams
  • B. 2 grams
  • C. 5 grams
  • D. 12.5 grams
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To create a 5:1 solution in 2.5 liters, 0.5 liters are needed for HCl, which translates to 5 grams. The correct answer is 5 grams, as this amount corresponds to the 5:1 ratio specified in the solution. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the 5:1 ratio and the volume of the solution.
