Show me how to do this chemistry problem - I need to know how to do it. Thanks!?

Which of the following solutions of strong electrolytes contains the largest number of ions?

400.0 mL of 0.320 M NaOH

20.0 mL of 0.450 M BaCl2

65.0 mL of 0.150 M Na3PO4

    the method you need is this.

    fist calculate the number of moles of the complete molecules in the solution

    for

    65.0 mL of 0.150 M Na3PO4

    (0.65ml * 0.150mol/L * 1L/1000ml) = x number of moles

    now multiply this by the number of ions generated by the molecule, in this case 4

    (0.65ml * 0.150mol/L * 1L/1000ml)*4 = ions

    bo this for all three of the solutions. good luck!

    400.0 mL x 0.320 M NaOH = 12.8 mmol NaOH and 25.6 mmol of ions (12.8 mmol Na^+1 and 12.8 mmol OH^-1)

    20.0 mL x 0.450 M BaCl2 = 9.00 mmol BaCl2 and 27.0 mmol of ions (9.0 mmol Ba^+2 and 18.0 mmol Cl^-1)

    65.0 mL x 0.150 M Na3PO4 = 9.75 mmol Na3PO4 and 39.0 mmol of ions (29.25 mmol Na^+1 and 9.75 mmol PO4^-3)

    ANSWER 65.mL of 0.150 M Na3PO4

    0.4000L*0.320m *2= 0.256 m ions this NaOH has the most ions

    0.020L*0.450m * 3= 0.027m ions

    0.065L * 0.150m *4=0.039m ions
