The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given, density $(d)=1.12\, g\, mL ^{-1}$

Mass of solute $(w)-120\, g$

Molar mass of solute $(M)=60$

Mass of solvent $(w)=1000\, g =1000\, mL$

$\therefore$ Total mass $=1000+120=1120\, g$

$\because d=\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text{Volume}(V)}$

$\therefore$ Total volume $(V)=\frac{1120}{1.12}=1000\, mL$

$\because$ Molarity $(c)=\frac{w}{M} \times \frac{1000}{V}$

$\because$ Molarity $(c)=\frac{w}{m} \times \frac{1000}{1000}=\frac{120}{60}=2.0\, m$

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.
