The concentration of Ca2+ ions is half that of the Cl- ions.
Furkat [3]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is its concentration is half that of the Cl^- ion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound having formula CaCl_2

It is an ionic compound because it is formed by the combination of Ca^{2+}\text{ and }Cl^- ion

When an ionic compound is dissolved in water, it breaks into its ions. The chemical equation for the ionization of calcium chloride follows:

CaCl_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2Cl^-

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium chloride produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of chloride ions

From above, it is visible that number of chloride ions is twice that of calcium ion and so will be its concentration.

Thus, the concentration of calcium ions will be half that of chloride ions.
