Question

What is the total concentration of ions in a 0.10 M solution of barium chloride?

Answer 1

it is 0.30 because BaCl2 breaks into Ba+2 + 2Cl-... each on has 0.10 M so (0.10) + 2(0.10)= 0.30M

Answer 2

0.30 M is the total concentration of ions in a 0.10 M solution of barium chloride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concentration of solution of barium chloride = 0.10 M = 0.10 mol/L

`BaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^(2+)(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)`

1 Mole of barium chloride gives 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of chloride ions.

Concentration of barium ions in solution = [x]

`[x]=1* 0.10 mol/L=0.10 mol/L`

Concentration of chloride ions in solution = [y]

`[y]=2* 0.10 mol/L=0.20 mol/L`

Total concentration of ions in the solution : [x]+[y]

0.10 mol/L + 0.20 mol/L = 0.30 mol/L

0.30 M is the total concentration of ions in a 0.10 M solution of barium chloride.
