Asolution is prepared by dissolving 23.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the concentration of cacl2 in this solution is molar.

a. 0.564
b. 0.571
c. 0.569
d. 0.537
e. 0.214

The concentration of CaCl2 in this solution is 0.564 molar (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of CaCl2 = 23.7 grams

Mass of water = 375 grams

Density of solution is 1.05 g/mL

Step 2: Calculate total mass

Total mass = mass of CaCl2 + mass of water

Total mass = 23.7 grams + 375 grams = 398.7 grams

Step 3: Calculate volume of the solution

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 398.7 grams / 1.05 g/mL

Volume = 379.7 mL = 0.3797 L

Step 4: Calculate moles CaCl2

Moles CaCl2 = mass CaCl2 / molar mass CaCl2

Moles CaCl2 = 23.7 grams / 110.98 g/mol

Moles CaCl2 = 0.214 moles

Step 5: Calculate concentration

Concentration of CaCl2 = moles / volume

Concentration of CaCl2 = 0.214 moles / 0.3797 L

Concentration of CaCl2 = 0.564 mol / L = 0.564 molar

The concentration of CaCl2 in this solution is 0.564 molar (option A)
