[339] The salt may be considered completely ionized at this dilution. Each molecule of silver chromate forms two silver ions when it is ionized. See p. [141] in regard to the form the solubility-product takes in the case of a salt of this type.
[340] The complication, resulting from the hydrolysis of the chromate, is not included in this calculation.

[342] Even Guldberg and Waage considered the active mass to be the fundamental factor and simply considered the total concentrations to be proportional to the "active masses," since they had no means of determining the proportion of "active" substances in the total concentrations.
[343] See Nernst, Theoretical Chemistry, p. 533, for a fuller discussion of the relations between the new and the old views on this subject.

[347] In that case the salts would be called "complex" salts, salts of a complex ion, MgCl3−. See Chapter XII. They are really "double salts"; cf. Smith, General Inorganic Chemistry, p. 536.
[348] See p. [114], and recall the laboratory experiments (Lab. Manual, p. 9, § 6), which may be given as lecture experiments at this point.
