Assume the second solution is 0.01 M barium chloride, and let the total volume of the mixture be 3 units, with 2 units being hydrochloric acid and 1 unit being barium chloride. The moles of chloride ions from hydrochloric acid are 0.01 M multiplied by 2 units, yielding 0.02 units. The moles of chloride ions from barium chloride are 2 multiplied by 0.01 M multiplied by 1 unit, yielding 0.02 units. The final concentration of chloride ions is the total moles divided by the total volume, which is (0.02 plus 0.02) divided by 3, resulting in 0.0133 M.
