Final answer:
To find the volume of a 0.580 M solution of CaCl2 that contains 1.28 g solute, we can use the formula: moles = mass / molar mass. The volume is 20 mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of a 0.580 M solution of CaCl2 that contains 1.28 g solute, we can use the formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
First, we need to calculate the number of moles of CaCl2:
moles = 1.28 g / 110.98 g/mol = 0.0115 mol
Next, we can use the formula:
moles = concentration x volume
to find the volume:
0.0115 mol = 0.580 M x volume
volume = 0.0115 mol / 0.580 M = 0.020 L = 20 mL
