Write brief answers to the following question:
 
Calcium chloride when dissolved in water dissociates into its ions according to the following equation.

\(CaCl_2\)(aq) → \(Ca^2{^+}\)(aq) + \(2Cl^-\)(aq)

Calculate the number of ions obtained from \(CaCl_2\) when 222 g of it is dissolved in water.
 
1 mole of calcium chloride = .

∴ 222 g of \(CaCl_2\) is equivalent to 2 moles of \(CaCl_2\).

Since 1 formula unit \(CaCl_2\) gives 3 ions, therefore, 1 mol of \(CaCl_2\) will give of ions.

2 moles of \(CaCl_2\) would give 3 × 2 = of ions.

No. of ions = No. of moles of ions × Avogadro number.

                                             = \(6\) × × \(10^2{^3}\).

                                             = \(36.132\) × \(10^2{^3}\).

                                             = × \(10^2{^4}\) ions.
