Metal ore has other elements in it as well. Also sediment and stone might cover the ore. We don't want to have a phone with sediment on it do we? thus these few reasons are why.
Here's how you would solve it. The process should be the same for the others.
What are you asking you have to be more exact
The concentration of AlCl3 solution if 150 ml of the solution contains 550 mg of cl- ion is 0.0344 M
calculation
concentration = moles /volume in liters
volume in liters = 150 /1000= 0.15 L
number of moles calculation
write the equation for dissociation of Al2Cl3
that is AlCl3 ⇔ Al^3+ + 3 Cl ^-
find the moles of Cl^- formed
moles =mass/molar mass
mass in grams= 550/ 1000 =0.55 grams
molar mass of Cl^- =35.5 g/mol
moles is therefore= 0.55/35.5 =0.0155 moles
by use of mole ration betweem AlCl3 to Cl^- which is 1:3 the moles of AlCl3 is =0.0155 x 1/3= 5.167 x10^-3 moles
concentration of AlCl3 is therefore= 5.167 x10^-3/ 0.15 =0.0344 M
