Help! A solution is made by dissolving 33.7 g of MgCl2 in .35L of H20. What is the mass of the solvent? The density of water is 1.oo g/ml.
Thanks!
mass=densitywater*volumewater. You are given both density and volume.
To find the mass of the solvent (water), we can use the density of water since density is defined as mass per unit volume.
Given:
Mass of the MgCl2 solution = 33.7 g
Volume of the solution = 0.35 L
Density of water = 1.00 g/mL
We can calculate the mass of the solvent using the formula:
Mass = Density × Volume
First, we need to convert the volume from liters (L) to milliliters (mL) since the density is given in g/mL.
0.35 L = 0.35 × 1000 mL = 350 mL
Now we can substitute the values into the formula to find the mass of the solvent:
Mass of the solvent = Density × Volume
= 1.00 g/mL × 350 mL
= 350 g
Therefore, the mass of the solvent (water) is 350 grams.
