1. 50 mL of 20.8 % (w/V) BaCl2 (aq) and 100 ml of 9.8 % (w/V) H2So4 (aq) solutions are mixed. What is the Molarity of cl- ions in the resulting solution ( At. Wt of Ba is137)

Dear Student,

I) 20.8 w/V % of BaCl2 means 20.8 g in 100 ml of aqueous solution.
Therefore, in 50 ml of aqueous solution, we will have 20.8 / 2 = 10.4 g of BaCl2​.
Mass of Cl- in 50 ml aqueous solution = =2×35.5 g mol-1208 g mol-1×10.4 g=3.55 g

​II) Similarly, in 100 ml of aqueous solution H2SO4 we will have 9.8 g of ​H2SO4 .

After mixing the total volume of the solution will be = 50 + 100 = 150 ml

Mass of Cl- in total solution (150 ml) remains the same, which is 3.55 g. Or in terms of moles it is = 3.55 g / 35.5 g mol-1 = 0.1 moles

As molarity = moles of solute / in a litre of solution

Molarity  = 0.1150×1000=0.666 M

Best Wishes !
