How many milliliters of an aqueous solution of 0.212 M copper(II) chloride is needed to obtain 6.74 grams of the salt?
We know that Molarity , M = ( mass/molar mass) x ( 1000/Volume in mL)
Given Molarity,M = 0.212 M
Mass of CuCl2 = 6.74 g
Molar mass of CuCl2 = At.mass of Copper + ( 2xAt.mass of chlorine)
= 63.5+(2x35.5)
= 134.5 g/mol
Volume of the solution = ?
Plug the values we get Volume in mL = ( mass/molar mass) x ( 1000/M)
= (6.74/134.5) x (1000/0.212)
= 236.4 mL
Therefore the volume of the required solution is 236.4 mL
