Explanation / Answer

a)

mol of CaCO3= mass/MW = 0.567/100 = 0.00567 mol of CaCO3

b)

mol of CaCl2 present

mol of CaCO3 = 0.00567

raito is 1:1 so

0.00567 mol of CaCl2 present

c)

mol of CaCl2 = mol*MW = 0.00567 *110.98 =0.6292566 g of CaCl2

d)

% CaCl2 / sample = 0.6292566 / 1.249*100= 50.38 % is CaCl2
