A 12.0 wt% solution of CaCl2 (110.98 g/mol) has a density of 1.107 g/mL.

A) What is the mass (in milligrams) of a 15.0-mL solution of 12.0 wt% CaCl2?

B) What is the mass (in grams) of CaCl2 in 431.3 mL of a 12.0 wt% solution of CaCl2?

C) What is the formal concentration of CaCl2 (in molarity) of the 431.3-mL CaCl2 solution described in Part B?

Answer:

a) Mass of solution is 16,605 milli grams.

b) 57.29 grams is the mass of calcium chloride in 431.3 mL of a 12.0 wt% solution.

c) 1.1967 mol/L is the formal concentration of calcium chloride in 431.3 mL solution.

Explanation:

Mass by mass percentage of calcium chloride solution, wt% = 12.0%

Density of the solution = d = 1.107 g/mL

a) Volume of the solution , V= 15.0 mL

Mass of the solution = m

[tex]Mass=density\times Volume[/tex]

[tex]m=d\times V=1.107 g/ml\times 15.0 mL=16.605 g[/tex]

Mass of solution = 16.605 g = 16,605 mg (1g = 1000 mg)

b) Mass of the solution = m

Volume of the solution = V = 431.3 mL

[tex]Mass=density\times Volume[/tex]

[tex]m=d\times V=1.107 g/ml\times 431.3 mL=477.4491 g[/tex]

Mass of calcium chloride = x

w% = 12.0%

[tex]\frac{x}{M}\times 100=12\%[/tex]

[tex]x=12\times \frac{M}{100}=12\times \frac{477.4491 g}{100}=57.29 g[/tex]

57.29 grams is the mass of calcium chloride in 431.3 mL of a 12.0 wt% solution.

c) Moles of calcium chloride = [tex]\frac{57.99 g}{111 g/mol}=0.5161 mol[/tex]

[tex]Molarity(M)=\frac{moles(n)}{V(L)}[/tex]

V = Volume of the solution in Liters

n = 0.5161 mole

V = 431.3 mL = 0.4313 L

[tex]M=\frac{0.5161 mol}{0.4313 L}=1.1967 mol/L[/tex]

1.1967 mol/L is the formal concentration of calcium chloride in 431.3 mL solution.
