### Ion Concentration Calculation

**Problem Statement:**
What is the concentration of ions present when 0.35 m Ba(NO₃)₂ dissociates into ions in an aqueous solution?

**Instructions:**
Enter your answer with 3 significant digits and no unit.

**Answer Box:**
\[ \text{Answer:} \ \square\square\square \]

To calculate the concentration of ions, you must consider the dissociation equation and how many ions each formula unit produces when it dissolves. For barium nitrate (Ba(NO₃)₂), this dissociation can be represented as:

\[ \text{Ba(NO}_{3}\text{)}_{2} \rightarrow \text{Ba}^{2+} + 2\text{NO}_{3}^{-} \]

Given:
1. The initial molarity of \( Ba(NO₃)₂ \) is 0.35 m.
2. Each mole of \( Ba(NO₃)₂ \) produces 1 mole of \( Ba^{2+} \) ions and 2 moles of \( NO₃^- \) ions.

Let’s break it down:
- For \( Ba^{2+} \): 0.35 m
- For \( NO₃^- \): 2 × 0.35 m = 0.70 m

**Total ion concentration:** 
\[ 0.35 \, \text{m (Ba}^{2+}\text{)} + 0.70 \, \text{m (2NO}_3^- \text{)} = 1.05 \, \text{m} \]

Thus, the concentration of ions in the solution is 1.05 (with 3 significant digits).

\[ \text{Answer: 1.05} \]

This comprehensive breakdown ensures a clear understanding and accurate calculation of the ion concentration.
