Question

What is the indicator of the number of ions in solution?

Answer 1

Determine the concentration of the ion solvent in solution (moles of solvent/Liter of solution) and then multiply by Avogadro's Number. That will give you the number of ionic atoms of a particular type in that solution.

Answer 2

Ionic strength

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic strength is an indicator or a measure of the concentration of ions in a solution. A solution with a high ionic strength implies a higher concentration of ions which suggests the presence of a greater number of ions.

Ionic strength ( I) is calculated using the Debye-Huckel formula:

`I = (1)/(2)n\sum C_(i)Z_(i)^(2)`

where n = number of ions

Ci = concentration of the ith ion

Zi = charge on the ith ion
