Calcium chloride (cacl2) is an ionic compound that dissociates in water. a chemist forms a solution by mixing 0.50 mol cacl2 and 1.0 kg of water. how many moles of ions are in the solution?

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is a salt which dissociates when dissolved in water. Assuming that the dissociation is complete (100 %), then the half reaction for this would be:

CaCl2 ---> Ca2+  +  2 Cl-

We can see that in 1 mole of CaCl2 salt, 1 mole of Ca2+ ion and 2 moles of Cl- ion is created. Therefore there are 3 moles of ion per 1 mole of CaCl2. Using this ratio, the total number of moles of ions in the solution is:

Total number of ions = 0.5 mol CaCl2 * (3 moles ion / 1 mol CaCl2)

Total number of ions = 1.5 moles ion

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
