Answer

0.060 mole of $K^-$ and 0.060 mole of $Cl^-$

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the conversion factors: $K^+$ has a charge of +1: 1 mole $K^+$ = 1 Eq $K^+$ $Cl^-$ has a charge of -1: 1 mole $Cl^-$ = 1 Eq $Cl^-$ $40. \space mEq \space K^+= 1 \space L \space of \space solution$ $40. \space mEq \space Cl^-= 1 \space L \space of \space solution$ $1000 \space mEq = 1 \space Eq$ 2. Calculate the amount of moles. $$1.5 \space L \space of \space solution \times \frac{40. \space mEq \space K^+}{1 \space L \space of \space solution} \times \frac{1 \space Eq}{1000 \space mEq} \times \frac{1 \space mole \space K^+}{1 \space Eq \space K^+} = 0.060 \space mole \space K^+$$ $$1.5 \space L \space of \space solution \times \frac{40. \space mEq \space Cl^-}{1 \space L \space of \space solution} \times \frac{1 \space Eq}{1000 \space mEq} \times \frac{1 \space mole \space Cl^-}{1 \space Eq \space Cl^-} = 0.060 \space mole \space Cl^-$$
