How many ions are present in 30.0 mL of 0.600 M H₂CO₃ solution? A) 3.25 × 10²² ions B) 2.17 × 10²² ions C) 1.08 × 10²² ions D) 5.42 × 10²² ions E) 3.61 × 10²¹ ions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of ions, calculate the moles of H2CO3 first: 0.600 M × 0.030 L = 0.018 moles. H2CO3 dissociates into 3 ions (2 H+ and 1 CO3^2-), so 0.018 moles × 3 ions/mole = 0.054 moles of ions. Convert moles to ions: 0.054 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 ions/mole = 3.25 × 10^22 ions.
