Answer:

CrCl₂(s) ⇒ Cr²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Chromium (II) chloride is a strong electrolyte, that is, when dissolved in water, it completely dissociates into the ions. The cation is chromium (II) and the anion is chloride. The balanced equation for the solution of chromium (II) chloride is:

CrCl₂(s) ⇒ Cr²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
