5. In the Alien movies, the extraterrestrial species have body fluid that can dissolve metal, including a p's decks and possibly even its hull. Since strong acids can dissolve metals like iron, aluminum and nickel, the fluid could be a strong acid. Consider if the Alien's body fluid was hydrochloric acid. which reacts with steel (mostly iron), as shown in the equation below: 6 HCI(aq) 2 Fe(s) 3 H,(g) + 2 FeCl3(aq). + oy mass If 2.00 L of the Alien's body ulate the approximate molarity of the hydrochloric acid. (1 lb.-453.6 g)

Explanation / Answer

15.0 lbs = 15 x 453.6 g = 6804 g stell deck
% iron = 96.4%
iron amount = 6804 x (96.4/100) = 6559.056 g
iron atomic mass = 26 g/mol
moles present in 6559.056 g = 6559.056 g / 26 g/mol = 252.271384615 mol
according to given balanced chemical reaction equation 3 mol HCl reacts with 1 mol Fe
moles HCl reacted = 252.271384615 x 3 = 756.814153846 mol
molarity = moles/liter = 756.814153846 mol/ 2L = 378.407076923 M
Molarity of hydrochloric acid = 378.41 M
Yes this much molarity because of Alien's body fluid, actually it's not exist on earth.
