11.1g of CaCl2 is present in 100ml of aqueous solution . the chloride ion concentration is
1. 1m 2. 2M 3. 0.5M 4. 0.2M
Concentration in molarity , M = moles of CaCl2 /volume in L
And moles of CaCl2 = mass/molar mass mass = 11.1g molar mass = 111g/mol (40 + 2 X 35.5)
Moles of CaCl2 = 11.1/111= 0.1 mol
c = 0.1/0.1 = 1M (Volume of solution = 100ml = 0.1L)
Now, CaCl2 dissociates in solution to form one mole of calcium cations and 2 moles of chloride anions
CaCl2 Ca2+ + 2Cl-
So, concentration of chloride ion is twice that of CaCl2 and is 2M (option 2)
And moles of CaCl2 = mass/molar mass mass = 11.1g molar mass = 111g/mol (40 + 2 X 35.5)
Moles of CaCl2 = 11.1/111= 0.1 mol
c = 0.1/0.1 = 1M (Volume of solution = 100ml = 0.1L)
