Answer #1

A solution of 1 mol/L CaCl2 has an osmolarity of 3 Osmol/L (1 mol Ca2+ and 2 mol Cl).

Molecular mass of CaCl2 is 110.98g/mol per liter

i.e. 11.098g/mol per 100 ml is 1 molar

As per your requirement 33%CaCl2 means 33g/100 ml that produces ~3M CaCl2 solution

Now, 1 mol/L CaCl2 osmolarity is 3 Osmol/L

Then, 3 x 3 = 9 Osmol/L for 33%CaCl2
