Question

Analyze the data and determine the actual concentration of calcium chloride in the solution. Show all calculations and report in % wt/v concentration.

Known; Mass of CaCl2 present in original solution, based on actual yield= 1.77g moles
CaCl2 present in original solution, based on actual yield= 1.77g/molar mass of CaCl2=1.77g/110.98g/mol=0.016 moles
Total Volume of solution =V, which is 80ml

Answer 1

2.21% wt/v

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass/volume percentage, %wt/v, is an unit of concentration used in chemistry defined as 100 times the ratio of the mass of solute in g (In this case, CaCl2 = 1.77g) and the volume of solution in mL = 80mL

The %wt/v of this solution is:

%wt /v = 1.77g / 80mL * 100

%wt/v = 2.21% wt/v
