To find the number of molecules in 4g of CaCl2, we first need to calculate the number of moles of CaCl2 in 4g.
Moles = mass / molar mass
Moles = 4g / 110.98g/mol
Moles = 0.036 mol
Now, we can use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) to convert moles to molecules:
Number of molecules = Moles x Avogadro's number
Number of molecules = 0.036 mol x 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol
Number of molecules = 2.170 x 10^22 molecules
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.170 x 10^22 molecules.
