2. What is the mass of 5.3 moles of CaCl2?

590 g CaCl₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

5.3 mol CaCl₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaCl₂ - 40.08 + 2(35.45) = 110.98 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

= 588.194 g CaCl₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

588.194 g CaCl₂ ≈ 590 g CaCl₂

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
