Question

What is the Molarity of the Chloride ion (Cl-) in a 5M AlCl3 solution?

Answer 1

Answer: The Molarity of the Chloride ion in a 5M
`AlCl_3` solution is 15 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

`Molarity=(n* 1000)/(V_s)`

where,

n= moles of solute

`V_s` = volume of solution in ml

`AlCl_3\rightarrow Al^(3+)+3Cl^-`

Now as 1 mole of
`AlCl_3` gives 3 moles of
`Cl^-`

5 moles of
`AlCl_3` gives =
`(3)/(1)* 5=15` moles of
`Cl^-`

Thus Molarity of the Chloride ion in a 5M
`AlCl_3` solution is 15 M
