Determine the quantity (g) of pure CaCl2 in 7.5 g of CaCl2•9H2O

3. 049g

Explanation:

Molar mass of Ca = 40

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5

H = 1, O =16

Molar mass of CaCl2.9H20 = [40 + (35.5*2) + (9*18)]

CaCl2.9H20 = 273g/mol

Molar mass of CaCl2 = 40 + (35.5*2) = 111g/mol

111g of CaCl2 is present in 273g of CaCl2.9H20

Xg of CaCl2 is present in 7.5g of CaCl2.9H20

X = (7.5*111) / 273

X = 3.049g

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
