Answer: 0.0450 moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex]
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of moles of} CaCl_2=\frac{5.00g}{110.98g/mol}=0.0450moles[/tex]
Thus there are 0.0450 moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex]
