Concentrated hydrochloric acid is a 38% solution of hcl in water and has a density of 1.18g/ml. How many milliliters of concentrated hydrochloric acid are needed to prepare 500ml of 1:200 hcl solution.
My calculation
1.18g/ml x 1000ml x 0.38/36.46 = 12.3M
12.3M = 500ml x 1:200 mean 1g in 200ml
12.3M = 2.5
x =0.203 x 1000
x= 203ml
The other calculation
500ml x 1:200 = 2.5
2.5M x 36.46 /0.38/1.18 = 203ml.
I am not sure the right answer. This question is for long time. No any people can clearly explain it step by step. Pls help.

The problem in helping with this problem is that I don't understand if this is 1:200 of pure HCl or 1:200 of the 38% solution of HCl.
