Answer:

a. 0.0250 moles MgCl2

b. i. 0.0500mol MgCl2 / dm3

ii. 3.54g Cl-/dm3

Explanation:

a. In 500cm3, the mass of MgCl2 (Molar mass: 95.211g/mol) is 2.38g. The moles are:

2.38g * (1mol / 95.211g) = 0.0250 moles MgCl2

b. The dm3 are (1000cm3 = 1dm3):

500cm3 * (1dm3 / 1000cm3) = 0.500dm3

Concentration is:

0.0250 moles MgCl2 / 0.500dm3

i. 0.0500mol MgCl2 / dm3

ii. Moles Cl-:

0.0250 moles MgCl2 * (2mol Cl- / 1mol MgCl2) = 0.0500 moles Cl-

Mass Cl- -Molar mass: 35.45g/mol-:

0.0500 moles Cl- * (35.45g / mol) = 1.77g of chloride ions

1.77g Cl- / 0.500dm3:

3.54g Cl-/dm3
