Expert Solution
Step 1 To calculate

Given, amount of AlCl3 =40.0 gvolume of flask filled upto mark = volume of solution =100.0 mL =0.1 Lmolar mass of AlCl3 =133.34 g/molwe are asked to calculate the concentration of solution.

Step 2 Formula used and calculation

The concentration of aluminum chloride solution is given by,C=wM×V(in L)  ; where, w is given mass, M is molar mass, V is volumeand C is concentration of solution.Now, C=wM×V(in L)C =40.0 g133.34g/mol ×0.1 LC =40.013.33 molLC =3.0 molL
