How many moles of chloride ions are in 0.500 L of a 0.250 M solution of AlCl₃? A)0.125 B)0.0500 C)0.375 D)0.167 E)0.750

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to find the number of moles of AlCl3 in the solution:
0.250 M = 0.250 moles/L
0.250 moles/L x 0.500 L = 0.125 moles of AlCl3
Each mole of AlCl3 produces 3 moles of chloride ions, therefore:
0.125 moles of AlCl3 x 3 moles of Cl- = 0.375 moles of Cl- in the solution. Answer choice C is the correct answer.
