16. which of the following aqueous solutions contains the greatest number of 10ns.
a) 400.0 ml of 0.10 m nacl
b) 300.0 ml of 0.10 m cacl2
y 200.0 ml of 0.10 m fecl3
d) 200.0 ml of 0.10 m kb

Explanation:

a) 400.0 mL of 0.10 M NaCl

(i) Moles of NaCl

(ii) Moles of ions

NaCl(s) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

We get 2 mol of ions from 1 mol of NaCl

b) 300.0 mL of 0.10 M CaCl₂

(i) Moles of CaCl₂

(ii) Moles of ions

CaCl₂(s) ⟶ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

We get 3 mol of ions from 1 mol of CaCl₂

c) 200.0 mL of 0.10 M FeCl₃  

(i) Moles of FeCl₃

(ii) Moles of ions

FeCl₂(s) ⟶Fe³⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq)

We get 4 mol of ions from 1 mol of  FeCl₃

d) 200.0 mL of 0.10 M KBr

(i) Moles of KBr

(ii) Moles of ions

KBr(s) ⟶ K⁺(aq) + Br⁻

We get 2 mol of ions from 1 mol of KBr

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
