SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between the concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) and its constituent ions in solution. When NaCl is at a concentration of 0.1M, the concentration of sodium ions (Na+) is also 0.1M. In the case of sodium dichloride (Na2Cl), a 0.1M concentration results in a sodium ion concentration of 0.2M, as each formula unit of Na2Cl releases two sodium ions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between normality and molarity in these calculations.

If you had a compound, say NaCl, with a certain concentration in water. Would the concentration, in mols/volume, be the same for Na as for NaCl?

if the concentration for NaCl was .1M, the concentration of Na would be .1M as well?

And if you somehow had Na2Cl with a .1M concentration, would the concentration of Na be twice that of Na2Cl?
