Answer:
1.5 moles
Explanation:
To find the number of moles of HCl in 500 mL of a 3 M solution of HCl, we consider moles in 1 liter/ 1000 mL.
3 moles HCl is contained in 1000 mL
x moles is HCl is contained in 500 mL
[tex] = \frac{3 \: \times \: 500}{1000} \: moles \\ = 1.5 \: moles[/tex]
Hence the number of moles of HCl in 500 mL is 1.5 moles.
