The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Moles of $2.5\, L$ of $1\, M\, NaOH =2.5 \times 1=2.5$ Moles of $3.0\, L$ of $0.5\, M\, NaOH =3.0 \times 0.5=1.5$ Total moles of $NaOH$ in solution $=2.5+1.5=4.0$ (Total volume of solution $=2.5+3.0=5.5 L$ ) Thus $M_{1} \times V_{1}=M_{2} \times V_{2}$ $4.0=M_{2} \times 5.5$ $\therefore$ molarity of resultant solution $=M_{2}=\frac{4.0}{5.5} M$ $\approx 0.73\, M$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
