Answer:

We have to add 9.82 grams of calcium acetate

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the calcium acetate solution = 0.207 M

Volume = 300 mL = 0.300 L

Molar mass calcium acetate = 158.17 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles calcium acetate

Moles calcium acetate = molarity * volume

Moles calcium acetate = 0.207 M * 0.300 L

Moles calcium acetate = 0.0621 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass calcium acetate

Mass calcium acetate = moles * molar mass

Mass calcium acetate = 0.0621 moles * 158.17 g/mol

Mass calcium acetate = 9.82 grams

We have to add 9.82 grams of calcium acetate
