The pressure in a sealed container means the volume of container is fixed
so we cannot change the volume of container hence gas
The other factors which can affect the pressure are
a) moles of gas : if we increase the moles of gas the pressure of gas will increase
b) Temperature: if we increase the pressure of gas the pressure of gas will increase due to increase in kinetic energy
So the following cannot increase pressure
a) decrease in moles of gas
b) decrease in temperature of gas
In order to calculate for the amount of CaCl2 and water used we need to multiply the total amount mixture to the percentage of each component. Since we are given a two component mixture CaCl2-water with 40% CaCl2 by mass, therefore we have 60% water.
Amount of CaCl2 = 0.40*(370.9) =148.36 g of CaCl2
Amount of Water = 0.60*(370.9) = 222.54 g of Water
Yep. And you'll always get equations with units that don't match
