Question #792b1
1 Answer
Explanation:
Molarity is all about the number of moles of solute and the volume of the solution expressed in liters, so start by using the 8molar mass* of calcium chloride to calculate the number of moles present in your sample.
#212 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) * "1 mole CaCl"_2/(110.98color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g")))) = "1.91 moles CaCl"_2#
Now, you know that in order to have a
Since solutions are homogeneous mixtures, i.e. they have the same composition throughout, you can use the molarity of the solution as a conversion factor to find the volume of solution that would contain
#1.91 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles CaCl"_2))) * overbrace("1 L solution"/(2.3color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles CaCl"_2)))))^(color(blue)("= 2.3 M")) = color(darkgreen)(ul(color(black)("0.83 L solution")))#
The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the molarity of the solution.
