Solution
The correct option is D Concentration of Cl− ions = 0.2 M We have two cations H+ and Ca2+ and one anion Cl−in the resultant solution. Let M1 be the molarity and V1 be the volume of CaCl2 solution; M2 be the molarity and V2 be the volume of HCl solution. Molarity of the cation = M1V1+M2V2V1+V2=(0.3×100)+(0.1×400)500=0.75=0.14M Molarity of Cl−=(2×M1)V1+M2V2V1+V2=(2×0.3)×100+(0.1×400)500=0.6+0.45=0.2M (Since each MgCl2 molecule has two Cl− ions, the concentration of Cl− in it will be 2×M1)
