The question is incomplete, the complete question is; Describe the preparation of 2.00 L of 0.108 M BaCl2 from BaCl2.2H2O
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
First we must know the molar mass of the compound = 244.3 g/mol
Now we must calculate the number of moles of BaCl2.2H2O in the solution.
number of moles = concentration * volume = 0.108 M * 2.00 L = 0.216 moles
Now the mass of solid that we need to take can be obtained from;
number of moles = mass/molar mass
mass = number of moles * molar mass
mass = 0.216 moles * 244.3 g/mol
Mass = 52.8 g
Hence, we must weigh 52.8 g of BaCl2.2H2O accurately in a balance and dissolve it in 2 L of water to give 0.108 M solution of BaCl2.2H2O.
