Question

A chemist adds 600.0mL of a 0.444/gL calcium sulfate CaSO4 solution to a flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

0.266 grams of calcium sulfate

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the mass of calcium sulfate added using the given volume and concentration of the solution:

First we convert 600.0 mL to L ⇒ 600.0 mL equals 0.6000 L (600 ÷ 1000).

0.444 g/L * 0.6000 L = 0.266 g

Thus the answer is 0.266 grams of calcium sulfate.
