How would you prepare 1600 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of a pH \(=1.50\) solution using concentrated \((12 M) \mathrm{HCl} ?\)

To prepare a 1600 mL solution with a pH of 1.50 using concentrated 12 M HCl, first calculate the hydrogen ion concentration (H+) using the formula \(H+ = 10^{-1.50}\). Then, calculate the moles of HCl needed for the desired solution using the formula \(moles_{HCl} = HCl_{final} \times volume_{L} = 10^{-1.50} \times 1.6\). Next, calculate the volume of concentrated HCl needed using the formula \(volume_{HCl} = \frac{10^{-1.50} \times 1.6}{12}\) and convert the volume to mL. Finally, measure the calculated volume of concentrated HCl, slowly add it to a beaker containing approximately 1500 mL of deionized water, stir the mixture carefully, and add more deionized water if necessary to reach the final volume of 1600 mL.
