Question

3.0 moles of naoh, a strong base, will completely dissociate in water. how many total moles of ions will it form. enter only a numerical value, do not enter units.

Answer 1

The total number of moles of ion that will be formed is calculated as follows

the ionic equation for dissociation of NaOh

NaOH = Na+ + OH-

the reacting ratio of dissociation of NaOH is 1:1 therefore if 3 moles of NaOH used then the moles of Na+ is 3 moles and even the moles of OH- is moles

total moles is therefore= 3 moles +3 moles = 6 moles
