Hi! I am looking at a review question about HCl.
"The molar mass of HCl is 36.5g/mol. Therefore, 73 g would be 2.0 moles, but since it is a strong acid, you would get 4.0 moles of particles (in water). "
Can someone please explain the italicized part to me? Two moles of HCl gives off 2 moles of H+ ions. So what is this "4.0 moles of particles?"
Thank you.
