What is the osmolarity of a solution made by dissolving 0.50 mole of the strong electrolyte cacl2 in 1.0 l of solution?

Respuesta :

Osmolarity=osmole  of  the  solute/litres  of  the  solution
ionic  equation  for  dissociation  of  CaCl2  is
CaCl2--->Ca2+   +2Cl-
total osmoles  for  reaction are    1(Ca2+)  + 2(Cl-)= 3 osmoles
therefore
 
0.50 moles of  CaCl2  x 3 osmoles/ 1mole of  CaCl2 = 1.5osmoles
osmolarity=1.5 /1.0  L=1.5 osmol/l
