Answer:

The answer to your question is: 0.02 M

Explanation:

Data

mass = 5.57 g

volume = 2.50 L

Formula

Molarity = [tex]\frac{moles}{volume (liters)}[/tex]

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of CaCl₂

Molecular mass 0f CaCl₂ = 40 + (35.5 x 2) = 111 g

2.- Calculate the moles of CaCl₂ in 5.57 g

                                111 g of CaCl₂  ---------------- 1 mol

                                 5.57 g of CaCl₂ -------------   x

                                   x = (5.57 x 1) / 111

                                   x = 0.050 moles of CaCl₂

3.- Calculate molarity

[tex]Molarity = \frac{0.050}{2.5}[/tex]

      Molarity = 0.02
