Answer is: molarity of calcium chloride is 0.123 M.

V₁ (CaCl₂) = 165 mL; initial volume of calcium chloride solution.

c₁ (CaCl₂) = 0.688 M; initial concentration.

V₂ (CaCl₂) = 925.0 mL; final volume.

c₂ (CaCl₂) = ?; final concentration.

Use c₁V₁ = c₂V₂.

0.688 M · 165 mL = c₂ (CaCl₂) · 925 mL.

c₂ (CaCl₂) = (0.688 M · 165 mL) : 925 mL.

c₂ (CaCl₂) = 0.123 M.
