Which calculation set-up would be correct to determine the volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid (12.0 m hcl) that is required to make 500.0 milliliters of a 6.0 m hcl?

M₁ *V₁ = M₂ * V₂

12.0 * V₁ = 6.0 * 500.0

12.0 V₁ = 3000

V₁ = 3000 / 12.0

V₁ = 250 mL

hope this helps!

Spontaneity tell us the direction of the reaction, but not how fast it goes. gibbs free energy brings together enthalpy, entropy and temperature in one easy formula. g = h - ts. and, finally the sign of delta g is always negative for a spontaneous reaction.
