The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$95\%\, H_2SO_4$ by weight means $100g\, H_2SO_4$ solution contains $95g \,H_2SO_4$ by mass. Molar mass of $H_2SO_4 = 98g\, mol^{-1}$ Moles in $95g=\frac{95}{98}=0.969$ mole Volume of $100g\, H_2SO_4$ $=\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{100g}{1.834g\,cm^{-3}}$ $= 54.52 \,cm^{3} = 54.52 \times 10^{-}3\, L$ $Molarity=\frac{Moles\, of \,solute}{Volme\, of\, solut\, in \,L}$ $=\frac{0.969}{54.52\times10^{-3}}=17.8\,M$

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.
