Chemistry Question?

Question:Hey all, well I am taking biology right now and we are doing a lap tommorow, and the lap requires us to do some problems before we go in, but I can't seem to get the hang of it.

I will only post one question, because seeing as I get how to do it, I will know how to do the rest.

How many grams of calcium chloride (CaCl2; Molecular weight = 111 g mole-1) would you dissolve in water to make a .2 M cacl2 solution with 200ml final volume?

I don't need an answer, more of an explanation. If it was me, I would multiply .2 by 111g. This would give me the correct grams with 1L, but this is 200ml.

Also one of the questions has a mM? I have never heard of a milliMolarity..what could mM be?

Thank you very much

Answers:
CaCl2
111 g/mol
.2 mol/L
.2 L final vol

.2L x .2 mol/L x 111g/mol

cross out Ls and mols to get 4.44 g

i believe so, anyway. it's been a couple of years since i took gen chem. i'm assuming you're talking about college chem or AP chem...so hopefully you'll know how i arrived at the converted units up at the top and why those units at the bottom cross out.
