looks like you have twice as many ions ... as the original molecule.

anonymous · Answer

what? I don't understand how to do this...

paxpolaris · Answer

.32 mol NH4Cl produces .32 mol NH4+ ions and .032 mol Cl- ions. 
so the total ion you have = .32 + .32 = .64 mol

How would I do it in the form of a conversion?

preetha · Answer

Nadial, do you understand what Pax and Aaron are trying to show you?  Look at the equation Aaron asked you to write.  Always start with an equation.  
In terms of a conversion, you are looking for something like this 
moles of Nh4Cl = 2 moles of products (Cl-+Nh4+) /1 mole of NH4Cl
