Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, HCl. A 5.00 cm35.00 \text{ cm}^3 sample of gastric juice required 11.00 cm311.00 \text{ cm}^3 of 0.0100 mol dm−30.0100 \text{ mol dm}^{-3} KOH for neutralization in a titration. What was the concentration of HCl in this fluid? If we assume a density of 1.00 g cm−31.00 \text{ g cm}^{-3} for the fluid, what was the percentage by mass of HCl?
