Answer

The concentration of that $HCl$ solution is equal to $1.00 \space M$.

Work Step by Step

1. Determine the molar mass of this compound ($HCl$), and setup the conversion factors: Molar mass : $H: 1.008g $ $Cl: 35.45g$ 1.008g + 35.45g = 36.46g $ \frac{1 \space mole \space (HCl)}{ 36.46 \space g \space (HCl)}$ and $ \frac{ 36.46 \space g \space (HCl)}{1 \space mole \space (HCl)}$ 2. Calculate the number of moles $(HCl)$ $ 73.0 \space g \times \frac{1 \space mole}{ 36.46 \space g} = 2.00 \space moles$ 3. Find the concentration in mol/L (Molarity) $(HCl)$: $C(M) = \frac{n(moles)}{volume(L)}$ $ C(M) = \frac{ 2.00 \space moles}{ 2.00 \space L} $ $C(M) = 1.00 \space M$
