Answer:
4.6 grams CuCl2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since molarity is a representation of moles per liter, we first want to convert 450. mL to liters:
450. mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.450 L
Now, we can use this number and the molarity to figure out the answer:
0.075 M means that for every liter, there is 0.075 moles of CuCl2. Thus, we can multiply the amount of moles per liter by the number of liters of solution.
0.075 moles/1 L * 0.450 L = 0.03375 moles
Then, we need to round this to the appropriate number of significant figures, which gives us:
0.034 moles CuCl2
Next, we can find the grams of CuCl2. To do this, we first need to find the molar mass of CuCl2. The molar mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol and the molar mass of Cl is 35.453 g/mol, so the molar mass of CuCl2 is as follows:
(1 Cu * 63.546) + (2 Cl * 35.453) = 134.45 g/mol CuCl2
Now, we can multiply the grams per mole by the number of moles of CuCl2 in our solution:
134.45 g/mol * 0.034 moles = 4.5713 grams = 4.6 grams CuCl2, rounded to the appropriate significant figures.
