The coefficient in a chemical formula represents the amount of each chemical present. The amount of a substance is measured in moles.
Answer:
294.87 gm CaCl_2
Explanation:
The computation of the mass of calcium chloride is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Number of moles of chlorine atom is
= 3.20 × 10^24 ÷ 6.022 × 10^23
= 5.314 moles
As we know that
1 mole CaCl_2 have the 2 moles of chlorine atoms
Now 5.341 mole chloride atoms would be
= 1 ÷ 2 × 5.314
= 2.657 moles
Now
Mass of CaCl_2 = Number of moles × molar mass of CaCl_2
= 2.657 moles × 110.98 g/mol
= 294.87 gm CaCl_2
