Q.

The Molarity (M) of an aqueous solution containing 5.85 g of NaCl in 500 mL water is:
(Given: Molar Mass Na : 23 and Cl : 35.5 gmol-1)                     [2024]

1 0.2  
2 20  
3 4  
4 2  

Ans.

(1)

Assuming volume of solution same as volume of water,

Vsolution=500mL=0.5L

nsolute=WsoluteMsolute=5.85g58.5g mol-1=0.1mol

M=nsoluteVsolution(in L)=0.1mol0.5L=0.2M
