Darya [45]

If you have an aqueous solution that contains 1.5 moles of HCl, the number of moles of ions in the solution is 3.0 moles.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Strong acids  </h3>
  • Strong acids are types of acids that undergo complete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
  • Examples of such acids are, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3
  • Dissociation of HCl

HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

<h3>Weak acids  </h3>
  • Weak acids are types of acids that undergo incomplete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
  • Examples of such acids are acetic acids and formic acids.
  • Dissociation of  acetic acid

H₃COOH ⇔ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺; CH₃COO⁻ is a conjugate base of acetic acid.

<h3>In this case;</h3>
  • HCl which is a strong acid that ionizes completely according to the equation;

HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

  • From the equation, 1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H₃O⁺ ions and 1 mole of OH⁻ ions.

Therefore;

1.5 moles of HCl will produce;

= 1.5 moles of H₃O⁺ ions and 1.5 moles of OH⁻ ions.

This gives a total number ions of;

= 1.5 + 1.5

= 3 moles of ions
