5 4 What is the total concentration of ions in a 50x10 M zin

5. (4) What is the total concentration of ions in a 5.0x10 M zinc oxalate solution providing that the salt is fully dissociated and zine and oxalate ions are the only ions present?

Solution

ZnC2O4 -------------> Zn⁺² + C2O4^-2

[ZnC2O4] = 5.0 x 10^-5 M

[Zn⁺²] = 5.0 x 10^-5 M

[C2O4^-2] = 5.0 x 10^-2 M

total ions concentration = 0.05 + 0.05 = 0.1 M

answer = 0.10 M
