Question

The total particle concentration in 100 cm3 of 0.2 M Al2(SO4)3 solution is.

Answer 1

$\huge \bf \underline \red{answer}$

Write the equation for aluminium sulfate's dissociation (all the species are in aqueous solution)

Al2(SO4)3⇌2Al3++3SO2−4

Notice the 1 mole of aluminium sulfate produces

2

moles of aluminium cations and

3

moles of sulfate anions.

This means that, for a given volume of solution, the concentration of the sulfate anions will be three times larger than the concentration of aluminium sulfate.
