I require 6 moles of dilute 20% HCl in one reaction  now my question is=

1.by concentration 20% means 20grams in 100ml of water so 6 moles means 20%,so should i use 100ml of water giving me 6 moles ie approx 212grams?

2.when i see density of 20% HCl,it is 1.09g/ml ie now whether i should need 20 ml of solution only as it will weigh 20grams.Does that 20gram weight is with 80% water?

Plz help me and thanks in advanced

Usually 20% HCl means 20 g in 100g of solution.
