depending on what kind of ions, you can use a spectrometer.

Or a titration with a color change to see how much of a reactant it takes to consume all of the ions.

you know how much you put in so you know the # of moles. and you know the total volume so being that M=moles/L you can do the math

if they are H or OH ions, we use a pH meter.
