Which of the following solutions would be expected to have the highest total molarity of all ions
A. 0.5M CrCl3
B. 0.5M NH4NO3
C. 0.5M BaBr2
D. 0.5M NaC2H3O2 E. 0.5M Li2CO3
Answer : A) 0.5 M CrCl3
A. 0.5M CrCl3
total molarity of ions = 0.5 + 3 x 0.5
= 2.0 M
B. 0.5M NH4NO3
total molarity of ions = 0.5 + 0.5
= 1.0 M
C. 0.5M BaBr2
total molarity of ions = 0.5 + 2 x 0.5
= 1.5 M
D. 0.5M NaC2H3O2
total molarity of ions = 0.5 + 0.5
= 1.0 M
E. 0.5M Li2CO3
total molarity of ions = 2 x 0.5 + 0.5
= 1.5 M
