Answer #1

Concentration of mixture = (n1*C1*V1+ n2*C2*V2) / (V1+V2)

where C1 --> Concentration of 1 component

V1-->volume of 1 component

C2 --> Concentration of other component

V2-->volume of other component

n1 --> number of particle from 1 molecule of 1st component

= 2 as 1 molecule of MgCl2 has 2 Cl- ion

n2 --> number of particle from 1 molecule of 2nd component

= 2 as 1 molecule of CaCl2 has 2 Cl- ion

To calculate concentration of Cl-, use:

C = (n1*C1*V1+ n2*C2*V2) / (V1+V2)

C = (2*0.231*37.6+2*0.669*12.6)/(37.6+12.6)

C = 0.6819 M

Answer: 0.682 M
