(a) ions in a certain volume of .20M NaCl (aq) are represented in the box above on the left. in the box above on the right, draw a particulate diagram that represents the ions in the same volume of .10 M CaCl2 (aq).

Explanation:

In the box on the left there are 8  Cl⁻ ions and 8 Na⁺ ions.

The dissociaton equation for NaCl(aq) is:

The dissociation equation for CaCl₂ (aq)  is:

A 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will have half the number of CaCl₂ units as the number of NaCl units in a 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution.

Thus, while the 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution yields 8 ions of Na⁺ and 8 ions of Cl⁻, the 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will yield 4 ions of Ca²⁺ (half because the concentration if half)  and 8 ions of Cl⁻ (first take half and then multiply by 2 because the dissociation reaction).

Thus, your drawing must show 4 dots representing Ca²⁺ ions and 8 dots representing Cl⁻ ions in the box on the right.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
