Question:

Suppose that an ion-exchange resin (R-Na+) is immersed in a solution of NaCl. Let the concentration of R in the resin be 3.0 M.
(a) What will the ratio [Cl-]o/[Cl-]I be if [Cl-]o is 0.10 M?
(b) What will the ratio [Cl-]o/[Cl-]i be if [Cl-]o is 1.0 M?
(c) Will the fraction of electrolyte inside the resin increase or decrease as the outside concentration of electrolyte increases?
