A stoichiometric quantity, approx. 222222 mgmg.

Explanation:

"Molarity"Molarity == "Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"Moles of soluteVolume of solution, and thus "molarity"molarity has units of mol*L^-1molL1. And thus,

"Moles of solute"="Volume of solution"xx"molarity"Moles of solute=Volume of solution×molarity

We have a 2"mM"2mM solution, i.e. a 2.0xx10^-3mol*L^-12.0×103molL1 of CaCl_2CaCl2, and, clearly, there are 2.0xx10^-3mol2.0×103mol of CaCl_2CaCl2 present in solution.

Thus, with respect to CaCl_2CaCl2 there are ............
