  • Calculating Chloride Molarity: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the molarity of Cl- in the solution:

    1. Calculate the moles of CaCl2:

    * Molar mass of CaCl2: 40.08 g/mol (Ca) + 2 * 35.45 g/mol (Cl) = 110.98 g/mol

    * Moles of CaCl2: (5.55 g CaCl2) / (110.98 g/mol CaCl2) = 0.05 mol CaCl2

    2. Calculate the moles of Cl- ions:

    * Stoichiometry: For every 1 mole of CaCl2, there are 2 moles of Cl- ions.

    * Moles of Cl-: (0.05 mol CaCl2) * (2 mol Cl-/1 mol CaCl2) = 0.1 mol Cl-

    3. Calculate the molarity of Cl-:

    * Molarity: Moles of solute / Liters of solution

    * Convert ml to L: 110 ml = 0.11 L

    * Molarity of Cl-: (0.1 mol Cl-) / (0.11 L) = 0.91 M

    Therefore, the molarity of Cl- in the solution is 0.91 M.
