Problem: What is the concentration of barium ions in a 0.750 M BaCl2 solution?a. 0.375 Mb. 1.50 Mc. 2.25 Md. 0.750 Me. 0.160 M
FREE Expert Solution
We’re being asked to calculate the concentration of the barium ions (Ba2+) in a 0.750 M BaCl2 solution. Recall that molarity is the ratio of the moles of solute and the volume of solution (in liters). In other words:
Since the BaCl2 is an ionic compound, it forms ions when dissociating in water. The dissociation of BaCl2 in water is as follows:
BaCl2(s) → Ba2+(aq) + 2 Cl–(aq)
