7. A chemist wants to make 7.2 L of a 0.350 M CaClh solution. How many grams of CaCl2 should the chemist use?
Solution
Molarity of solution = 0.350M, mass of CaCl2 = ?, Volume of solution = 7.2L = 7200 mL
Molarity of solution, M = moles of CaCl2 x 1000 / volume of solution (mL)
So, moles of CaCl2 = Molarity of solution x volume of solution / 1000
moles of CaCl2 = 0.350 x 7200 / 1000
moles of CaCl2 = 0.252 mole
Now, mass of CaCl2 = 0.252 x molar mass of CaCl2
mass of CaCl2 = 0.252 x 110.98
= 27.96 g of CaCl2
