In a common medical laboratory determination of the concentration of free chloride ion in blood serum, a serum sample is titrated with a Hg(NO3)2 solution. 2Cl-(aq) + Hg(NO3)2 (aq) -> HgCl2 (s). What is the Cl- concentration in a 0.25 mL sample of normal serum that requires 1.64 mL of 8.35 x 10-4 M Hg(NO3)2 (aq) to reach the end point?
