Ionic Strength Calculator

Ionic solution is the solution where a strong electrolyte solution splits into its respective ions because it has

ionic compounds. Ionic strength is the strength of these ions in the solution and their activity with other ions

depends on this strength. Ionic strength calculator is an instant online tool which can easily calculate the ionic

strength of compounds.

Example 1: What is the ionic strength of 1.0M of KCl solution?

In order to find the Ionic strength of a solution, we can use the formula:

<-Ionic strength, I = 1/2 ∑ (Z_i²* M_i)

Where Z_i = charge of a particular ion in the solution

M_i = Molarity of the ion in the solution

KCl solution contains <- K⁺ and Cl^- ions

Z_K⁺ = 1 and Z_Cl^- = 1

<-M_K⁺ = 1.0M and M_Cl^- = 1.0M

Hence<- Ionic strength, I = 1/2 [(1²*1) +(1²*1)

<-I = ½(2) = 1.00

Example 2: What is the ionic strength of 1.0M of MgCl₂ solution?

In order to find the Ionic strength of a solution, we can use the formula:

<-Ionic strength, I = 1/2 ∑ (Z_i²* M_i)

Where Z_i = charge of a particular ion in the solution

M_i = Molarity of the ion in the solution

MgCl₂ solution contains <- Mg⁺² and 2Cl^- ions

Z_Mg⁺² = 2 and Z_Cl^- = 1

<-M_Mg⁺² = 1.0M and M_Cl^- = 2(1.0) = 2.0M

Hence<- Ionic strength, I = 1/2 [(2²*1) +(1²*2)

<-I =1/2*(6) = 3.00

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
