Question

Calculate the number of grams of solute in 814.2mL of 0.227 M calcium acetate

Answer 1

Mass = 29.23 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 814.2 mL 814.2/1000 = 0.8142 L)

Molarity of solution = 0.227 M

Mass of solute in gram = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

0.227 M = number of moles / 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.227 M × 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.184 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of calcium acetate = 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 0.184 mol × 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 29.23 g
