Question

How many grams of Cl are in 465g of CaCl2

Answer 1

297.4332 grams of chlorine is present in 465 grams of calcium chloride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of calcium chloride = 465 g

Molar mass of calcium chloride = 111 g/mol

Moles of calcium chloride =
`(465 g)/(111 g/mol)=4.1892 mol`

1 mol of calcium chloride has 2 moles of chlorine atoms.

Then 4.1892 moles of calcium chloride has:

`2 * 4.1892 mol=8.3784 mol` of chlorine atoms

Mass of 8.3784 moles of chlorine atom:

8.3784 mol × 35.5 g/mol=297.4332 g
