Answer:
[Ca²⁺] = 1M
[NO₃⁻] = 2M
Explanation:
Calcium nitrate dissociates in water as follows:
Ca(NO₃)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻
The moles of Ca²⁺ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and Ca²⁺
(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (Ca²⁺ /Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.100 mol Ca²⁺
The concentration of Ca²⁺ is then:
[Ca²⁺] = n/V = (0.100mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 1M
Similarly, moles of NO₃⁻ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and NO₃⁻:
(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (2NO₃⁻/Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.200 mol NO₃⁻
The concentration of NO₃⁻ is then:
[NO₃⁻] = (0.200mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 2M
