When 8.1 moles of [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ is dissolved in water,how many moles of ions are in solution? A) 73 B) 24 C) 5.1 D) 2.7 E) 6.1

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ contains one cobalt ion, which will dissociate to produce one Co2+ ion and one Cl- ion. Therefore, each formula unit of the compound will produce 2 moles of ions in solution (1 Co2+ ion + 1 Cl- ion). To find the total number of moles of ions in solution, we can multiply the number of formula units by 2: 8.1 moles x 2 = 16.2 moles Therefore, the correct answer is B: 24 moles (since we need to round to the nearest whole number).
