$[Cl^-]$ $=$ $("Moles of chloride ion")/("Volume of solution")$

$"Moles of chloride"/"Volume of solution"$

We note that in the calcium chloride solution, each equiv calcium chloride contributes 2 equiv halide ion:

$[Cl^-]$ $=$ $(2xx0.125*mol*cancelL^-1xx80xx10^-3cancelL)/(100xx10^-3L)$

$=$ $??mol*L^-1$
