<span>The student should
follow following steps to make 1 L of </span>2.0 M CaCl₂.<span>
<span>
1. First he should
calculate the number of moles of 2.0 M CaCl</span></span>₂ in 1 L solution.<span>
</span>Molarity of the solution = 2.0 M<span>
Volume of solution which should be prepared = 1 L
Molarity =
number of moles / volume of the solution
Hence, number of moles in 1 L = 2 mol
2. Find
out the mass of dry CaCl</span>₂ in 2 moles.<span>
moles =
mass / molar mass
Moles of CaCl₂ =
2 mol</span><span>
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = </span><span>110.98 g/mol
Hence, mass of CaCl</span>₂ = 2 mol x <span>110.98 g/mol
= 221.96
g
3. Weigh the mass
accurately
4. Then take a cleaned and dry1 L volumetric flask and place a funnel top of it. Then carefully add the salt into the volumetric flask and
finally wash the funnel and watch glass
with de-ionized water. That water also should be added into the volumetric
flask.
5. Then add some
de-ionized water into
the volumetric flask and swirl well until all salt are
dissolved.
<span>6. Then top up to
mark of the volumetric flask carefully.
</span></span>
7. As the final step prepared solution should be labelled.
10 x 70 = 100 x Part, or
700 = 100 x Part
Now, divide by 100 and get the answer:
Part = 700 / 100 = <span>7</span>
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can simply be transformed from one form to another.
For example, 
Mass of Na = 23 g/mol
Mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol
Sum of mass of reactants = mass of Na + mass of Cl
= 23 + 35.5 g/mol
= 58.5 g/mol
Mass of product formed is as follows.
Mass of NaCl = mass of Na + mass of Cl
= (23 g/mol + 35.5) g/mol
= 58.5 g/mol
As mass reacted is equal to the amount of mass formed. This shows that mass is conserved.
As a result, law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
