  • Calculating Chloride Ion Concentration in a Solution - Chemistry Problem
    Here's how to calculate the concentration of chloride ions in the final solution:

    1. Calculate moles of chloride ions from each solution:

    * NH₄Cl:

    - Moles of NH₄Cl = (0.2450 mol/L) * (0.0250 L) = 0.006125 mol

    - Since NH₄Cl dissociates into one chloride ion per formula unit, moles of Cl⁻ from NH₄Cl = 0.006125 mol

    * FeCl₃:

    - Moles of FeCl₃ = (0.1655 mol/L) * (0.0555 L) = 0.009193 mol

    - FeCl₃ dissociates into three chloride ions per formula unit, so moles of Cl⁻ from FeCl₃ = 0.009193 mol * 3 = 0.027579 mol

    2. Calculate the total moles of chloride ions:

    * Total moles of Cl⁻ = 0.006125 mol + 0.027579 mol = 0.033704 mol

    3. Calculate the total volume of the final solution:

    * Total volume = 25.0 mL + 55.5 mL = 80.5 mL = 0.0805 L

    4. Calculate the concentration of chloride ions in the final solution:

    * [Cl⁻] = (Total moles of Cl⁻) / (Total volume)

    * [Cl⁻] = (0.033704 mol) / (0.0805 L) = 0.419 M

    Therefore, the concentration of chloride ions in the final solution is 0.419 M.
