We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.
First, we need to determine the required moles of CaCl₂. We have 500 mL (0.500 L) of a 0.360 M solution (0.360 moles of CaCl₂ per liter of solution).

Then, we will convert 0.180 moles to grams using the molar mass of CaCl₂ (110.98 g/mol).

To prepare the solution, we weigh 20.0 g of CaCl₂ and add it to a beaker with enough distilled water to dissolve it. We stir it, heat it if necessary, and when we have a solution, we transfer it to a 500 mL flask and complete it to the mark with distilled water.

Answer is: the percent by mass of NaHCO₃ is 2,43%.
m(NaHCO₃) = 10 g.
V(H₂O) = 400 ml.
d(H₂O) = 1 g/ml.
m(H₂O) = V(H₂O) · d(H₂O).
m(H₂O) = 400 ml · 1 g/ml.
m(H₂O) = 400 g.
m(solution) = m(H₂O) + m(NaHCO₃).
m(solution) = 400 g + 10 g.
m(solution) = 410 g.
ω(NaHCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 410 g · 100%.
ω(NaHCO₃) = 2,43 %
Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
Solution :
Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'
There are two equations formed which are,
x + y = 26 ..........(1)
3y - 4x = 8 ..........(2)
First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'
3(16) - 4x = 8
4x = 40
x = 10
The age of brother = x = 10 years
The age of sister = y = 16 years
Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
