Question

9

If you wanted to make 250 mL of a 0.01 M solution of CaCl, calculate how many moles of calcium chloride would be
needed. Your response must include both a correct numerical setup and the calculated result. [1]

Answer 1

0.0025moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity of a solution (M) = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

According to this question, to make 250 mL of a 0.01 M solution of CaCl, the following number of moles is needed:

Volume = 250mL = 250/1000 = 0.250Litres.

Using; molarity = n/V

0.01 = n/0.250

n = 0.0025

n = 2.5 × 10^-3 moles.
