The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

For acid-base reactions,

$\underset{(HCl)}{\text{g-equivalent of acid}} $ $\underset{(NaOH)} {\text{=g-equivalent of base}}$
$\therefore$ g -equivalent of acid $=\left(25 \times 10^{-3}\right) dm ^{3} \times \frac{1}{10}$
$=25 \times 10^{-4}$

or $=0.0025$
$=g$ -equivalent of $NaOH$

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.
