From the given information and the Ideal Gas Law, we can determine how many moles of hydrogen gas are produced:
PV=nRT
n=PV/RT, from STP we know T= 273.15K, P=1.00atm. R=0.0821Latm/molK
n = 1.00atmx32.5L/(0.0821Lx273.15k) = 1.45mol
From the balanced equation we get the relationship that 2mol HCl are required to produce...

From the given information and the Ideal Gas Law, we can determine how many moles of hydrogen gas are produced:
PV=nRT
n=PV/RT, from STP we know T= 273.15K, P=1.00atm. R=0.0821Latm/molK
n = 1.00atmx32.5L/(0.0821Lx273.15k) = 1.45mol
From the balanced equation we get the relationship that 2mol HCl are required to produce 1mol H2. So
1.45mol H2x(2mol HCl/1 mol H2) = 2.90 mol HCl.
From the definition of molarity, we can determine the concentration of HCl:
M = #mol/L = 2.90mol HCl/ 0.500L = 5.80 mol/L
So, [HCl] = 5.80 M
