58.5g of of NaCl per 1 dm3 of solution of NaCl in water the concentration of solution will be___________________?

Correct answer: C. 1 M

  • A. 0.1 M
  • B. 1 m
  • C. 1 M
  • D. 0.1 N

Explanation

The molar mass of NaCl is 58.5 g mol−1, so 58.5 g represents 1 mol. Since this amount is present in 1 dm3 of solution, molarity = 1 mol / 1 dm3 = 1 mol dm−3 = 1 M. Students may choose 0.1 M by misplacing the decimal or confusing dm3 with 10 dm3.
