Asolution of cacl 2 in water forms a mixture that is 42.0 % calcium chloride by mass. if the total mass of the mixture is 839.6 g, what masses of cacl 2 and water were used

Answer : The masses of calcium chloride and water used were, 352.6 g and 487.0 g.

Explanation :

As we are given that 42.0 % calcium chloride by mass that means 42.0 grams of calcium chloride present in 100 grams of solution.

In the solution or mixture, 42.0 % calcium chloride and 58.0 % (100-42.0=58.0) water.

Now we have to determine the mass of calcium chloride for 839.6 grams of solution.

As, 100 grams of solution contains 42.0 grams of calcium chloride

So, 839.6 grams of solution contains grams of calcium chloride

Thus, the mass of calcium chloride used is, 352.6 grams.

Now we have to determine the mass of water.

Mass of water = Mass of solution - Mass of calcium chloride

Mass of water = 839.6 g - 352.6 g

Mass of water = 487.0 g

Thus, the mass of water used is, 487.0 grams.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
