How do I prepare 0.1N HCL from 1N HCL?

David Cable  Follow

Measure the volume of the hcl you have and use the formula to add water and decrease tge concentration.

V1N1=V2N2

If you have 1 litre 1N HCl,

1*1=V2*0.1

i.e. V2 = 10 litres

They are different concentrated HCl solutions.

1 N = 1 M

1 X = number of mol

0.1 = 1 x 1 / (1 + X)

X = 9 L

Take 1 L of the 1 M solution and mix it carefully with 9 L of water

final solution = 1 mol / 10 L = 0.1 M

Use this simple equation for dilution problems like this.

MiVi = MfVf

where the subscripts are initial and final and V is volume and M is molarity, or Normality in this case.

So: (1N)(Vi) = (0.1N)(20 ml)

Solve for Vi and you get 2 mL.

Now add the 2 mL to a 20 mL volumetric flask that contains 10 mL of water. ALWAYS add acid to water, NEVER water to acid. Mix and add water until the volume reaches the 20 mL mark. You now have 20 mL of a 0.1N HCl solution.

We’re missing 1 factor here, which volume do you like to make ( or theoretically we can start also from how much volume of the 1N solution do you have.

But generally one normally start from a wanted volume of a wanted concentration.

so lets assume you need 1 liter of 0.1 N

The formula :

V1 x N1 = V2 x N2

we know all except V1, so :

V1 = V2 x N2 / N2

V1 = 1000 ml x 0.1 N / 1N =

100 ml

So take with a pipette 100 ml of the 1N solution and drop it in a 1000 ml volumetric flask, add water to the 1000 ml mark, shake it, done, there is your 1 liter 0.1 N solution.

First of all check the specific gravity(sg) on HCL reagent bottle and percentage of concentration

Use the formula for stock calculation

N=sg*%*1000/(equivalent wts*100)

By this to find out stock normality of HCl solution

Now use

M1V1(stock)=M2V2(required) means

Required means 0.1N in 100mL

M2=0.1 and V2=100

M1= find from above formula i.e N=sg*%*1000/(equivalent wts*100)

Now you find V1 from M1V1=M2V2

Clear

Hope you will get it
