. What is the molarity of a solution that was prepared by dissolving 80.0 g of CaCl2 (molar mass = 111.1 g/mol) in enough water to make 500 mL of solution?​

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity = mol/L or g/L

Data:

Mass>80.0g

Mr of CaCl2>111.1g/mol

V>500mL

Convert mL to Litres;. mole=g/Mr

1L=1000mL. =80g/111.1g/mol

x=500mL. =0.720072007mol

x=0.5L

Molarity= mole/volume

=0.720072007mol/0.5L

=1.440144014mol/L

=1.4401mol/L

Hope this helps. Depending on the question you can also find it in g/L but mol/L is safer.
