Solution

The correct option is A 0.80 M
Number of moles of HCl dissolved (nHCl)=0.2 mol

And number of moles of Cl obtained from HCl,

Ncl=nHCl=0.2 mol

Number of moles of BaCl2 dissolved
(nBaCl2)=0.1 mol

And number of moles of Cl obtained from BaCl2,

ncl=2(nBaCl2)=2×0.1=0.2 mol

Thus, total number of moles of Cl dissolved
=0.2+0.2=0.4 mol

Now molarity=no.of molesVolume(in mL)×1000

=0.4500×1000=0.80 M

Thus, molarity of Cl ion is 0.80 M.

So, option (D) is the correct answer.
