NiCl3 is a strong electrolyte. Determine the concentration of each of the individual ions in a 0.600 M NiCl3 solution.
For the answer to the question above, I'll show the solutions for my answer.
(0.800 M NiCl3) x (1 mol Ni^3+ / 1 mol NiCl3) = 0.800 M Ni^3+
(0.800 M NiCl3) x (3 mol Cl^- / 1 mol NiCl3) = 2.40 M Cl^-
I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
Answer : The concentration of each of the individual ions are, 0.6 M \(Ni^{3+}\) and 1.8 M \(Cl^-\).
Explanation : Given,
Concentration of \(NiCl_3\) solution = 0.6 M
The balanced chemical reaction will be :
\(NiCl_3\rightarrow Ni^{3+}+3Cl^-\)
From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that, 1 mole of \(NiCl_3\) dissociates to give 1 mole of \(Ni^{3+}\) and 3 moles of \(Cl^-\).
So,
The concentration of \(Ni^{3+}\) = The concentration of \(NiCl_3\) = 0.6 M
The concentration of \(Cl^-\) = 3 × The concentration of \(NiCl_3\) = \(3\times 0.6M=1.8M\)
Therefore, the concentration of each of the individual ions are, 0.6 M \(Ni^{3+}\) and 1.8 M \(Cl^-\).
