Solution Summary

This solution discusses the steps for preparing an HCl solution in 332 words.

Solution Preview

5% aqueous HCl solution means that in 100g of solution, 5g of that solution is HCl (5/100 = 5%).
37% stock means that in 100g of solution, 37g is HCl (37/100 = 37%).

Conversely, it might be easier to consider that ratio as: 0.5g of HCl per 1g final solution (5/100) and 1g HCl per 2.7g stock (100/37). What we've done here is identify easy ratios of HCl to final solution for the purpose of our calculations:

0.5g HCl : 1g ...
