What is the final acetate ion concentration when 69. g Ba(C2H3O2)2 is dissolved in enough water to make 970. mL of solution? The molar mass of Ba(C2H3O2)2 is 255.415 g/mol.

0.28 M
0.64 M
0.91 M
0.20 M
0.56 M

Explanation:

1. Dissociation equation

Assuming 100% dissociation, the equation is:

                                                          ↑

                                                    acetate ions

2. Molarity

Calculate the molarity, M, of the solution:

3. Acetate ions

From the chemical equation, 1 mol of dissolved Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ produces 2 acetate ions in solution.

Thus, 0.28 mol/liter × 2 = 0.56 mol/liter = 0.56M ← answer
