Solution

Given     2m             CaCl2 solution            d = 1.222 g/mL
Assuming 1000 ml solution     CaCl2 → Ca+2 + 2Cl-
                                                    2            0            0
                                                    0            2 ml     4 ml    
(A)    Mass of H2O in solution = 1000 × 1.222 – 2 ×[40 + 2 × 35.5]
                      = 1222 – 2 × [111]
                      = 1000 gm
        ∴ Molality of Cl– = 41000/1000 = 4 M
(B)    Mole fraction of CaCl2 = 2100018+2 = 0.0348    
(C)    % wt. by vol. of CaCl2 = 2221000×100 = 22.2 % w/v
(D)    % wt. by wt. of CaCl2 = 2221222×100 = 18.167%            
        Ans.     A,B,D are correct
                   so incorrect is 'C'
