48*L of HCl(g) under standard conditions of 1*atm, and 298*K were dissolved in a 5*dm^3 volume of water. What is [HCl] in these circumstances?

We finally get [HCl]~=0.4*mol*dm^-3

Explanation:

From the Ideal Gas equation we can access the number of equiv HCl(aq):

n=(PV)/(RT)=(1*atmxx48*L)/(0.0821*L*atm*K^-1*mol^-1xx298*K)

(For your information quotient, 1*dm^3-=1xx(10^-1*m)^3=10^-3*m^3=1/1000*m^3-=1*L).

We get n=1.96*mol

And thus "concentration"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"

(1.96*mol)/(5*dm^3)=??*mol*dm^3.
