How can we calculate the volume of a calcium bromide solution?

Let's find out how to determine the volume of a solution with a given concentration and amount of solute!

Calculating the volume of a solution involves using the formula:

Volume = Amount of Solute / Concentration

Given:

Concentration of the solution = 1.59 mol/L

Amount of calcium bromide = 200 g

To begin the calculation, we first convert the amount of calcium bromide from grams to moles:

1. Calculate moles of calcium bromide:

Moles of CaBr2 = Amount of CaBr2 / Molar mass of CaBr2

Molar mass of CaBr2 = 199.89 g/mol

Moles of CaBr2 = 200 g / 199.89 g/mol = 1.0005 mol

2. Substitute the values into the formula:

Volume = 1.0005 mol / 1.59 mol/L = 0.628 ml

Therefore, the volume of the calcium bromide solution is approximately 0.628 milliliters.

Now you know how to calculate the volume of a solution based on concentration and amount of solute!
