Question

A solution of CaCl2 in water forms a mixture that is 34.5 calcium chloride by mass. If the total mass of the mixture is 261.4 g. What masses of CaCl2 and water were used?

Answer 1

mass of CaCl2 = 90.18g and mass of H2O = 171.21g

Calculation of masses CaCl2 and H2O

Given that the solution contains 34.5% CaCl2 by mass, we simply multiply the total mass by 0.345 (34.5%).

CaCl2 = 0.345 x 261.4  g = 90.18 g

mass of CaCl2 = 90.18g

Simply deduct the mass of CaCl2 from the total mass to determine the mass of H2O:

H2O mass = 261.4  g - 190.18g = 171.21 g

mass of H2O = 171.21g

Is calcium chloride an organic substance?

Small amounts of sodium chloride and potassium chloride are transferred from the brine's natural feedstock into natural calcium chloride. This includes almost all uses for calcium chloride that is suitable for food.

What is the typical application of calcium chloride?

In order to promote dryness and prevent food spoiling, calcium chloride works well as a desiccant and hygroscopic agent to remove dissolved moisture from liquids.
