Question

When 1.5 mol calcium nitrate dissolves in water, how many moles of ions should be present in solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 moles of Ca²⁺ and 3 moles of NO₃⁻

Explanation:

This is the dissociation:

Ca(NO₃)₂  →  Ca²⁺  +  2NO₃⁻

1.5 moles of salt will have the same moles of ion Ca²⁺ and the double of moles, of nitrate according to the equation.

Therefore will be 1.5 moles of Ca²⁺ and 3 moles of NO₃⁻
