Chapter 4, Problem 31E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The largest number of moles of chlorine ions of strong electrolytes has to be found out from the given data.

Concept introduction:

The neutralization of acids and bases results in the formation of salts.  The concentration of solution can be defined in terms of molarity as moles of solute per volume of solution in litres. It is given by the equation,

$\text{Molarity}\text{=}\frac{\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute(in moles)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution(in}\text{litres)}}$

From the formula of molarity, the moles of solute can be calculated by,

$\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute}\left(\text{Mol}\right)\text{=Volume}\left(\text{L}\right)\text{×Molarity}\left(\frac{\text{mol}}{\text{L}}\right)$
