Final answer:

For a 0.980 M solution of Calcium chloride, approximately 73.42 grams are needed to make 675 mL of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of grams needed to make a 0.980 M solution of Calcium chloride, we need to use the formula:

moles = molarity * volume

First, we need to convert mL to L: 675 mL = 0.675 L

Next, we can rearrange the formula to solve for moles:

moles = 0.980 M * 0.675 L = 0.6615 mol

Finally, we can calculate the mass of Calcium chloride using its molar mass (110.98 g/mol):

mass = moles * molar mass = 0.6615 mol * 110.98 g/mol = 73.42 g

Therefore, approximately 73.42 grams of Calcium chloride are needed to make 675 mL of a 0.980 M solution.
