Question

The molarity of a 2 liter aqueous solution that contains 222.2 grams of dissolved calcium chloride ( CaCl2), expressed with two significant figures is __ M

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 1 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Molarity = ?

mass of CaCl₂ = 222.2 g

Volume = 2 l

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of CaCl₂

CaCl₂ = 40 + (35.5 x 2) = 40 + 71 = 111 g

2.- Calculate the moles of CaCl₂

111g of CaCl₂ ---------------- 1 mol

222.2 f of CaCl₂ ---------------- x

x = (222.2 x 1) / 111

x = 222.2 / 111

x = 2 moles

3.- Calculate the Molarity

Molarity = moles / Volume

-Substitution

Molarity = 2/2

-Result

Molarity = 1
