Answer: It will produce 40 chloride ions
Explanation: When in water, Calcium chloride separate in ions, as the following chemical equation:
CaCl₂ + H₂O ⇒ [tex]Ca^{+2}_{aq} + 2Cl^{-}_ {aq}[/tex]
According to the equation, 1 calcium chloride results in 2 chloride ions, so if there are 20 units of the chemical compound, there will be 2 times as much Chlorine ions, i.e., 40 units of chlorine ions.
