The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Density of water = 1 g/cm3 and its molecular weight is 18.  So, 1000 cm3 of water will weigh 1000 g of water.

Now, we know that molarity \(=\frac{\text { Mass of water }}{\text { Molecular weight }}\) \(=\frac{1000}{18}\) \(=55.56 \,M\)

\(Molarity = \frac{\text { Mass of water }}{\text { Molecular weight }}\)

\(Molarity = \frac{1000}{18}\)

\(Molarity = 55.56 M\) 

Hence, the molarity of water is 55.56 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.
