104.

What is the concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution?
[Na=23, O=16, H=1]

A.

0.05 moldm-3

B.

0.30 moldm-3

C.

0.50 moldm-3

D.

0.40 moldm-3

Correct answer is C

2g NaOH is contained in 100cm3
Xg NaOH is contained in 1000cm3

Xgram = \(\frac{2\times 1000}{100}\) = 20g

Mole = \(\frac{20}{40}\) = 0.50mol/dm3

C.

7.1

D.

6.9

Correct answer is D

(\(\frac{90}{100}\) x 7) + (\(\frac{10}{100}\) x 6)

= 6.3 + 0.6 = 6.9
