Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Saturated solution = 3503
mass of salt Z in saturated solution = 55.5g
Number of moles of salt = \(\frac{55.5}{101}\) = 0.55mole
3503 of solution contains 0.55mole
1000cm3 will contain \(\frac{1000 \times 0.55}{350}\) = 1.57mol/dm3
Saturated solution = 3503
mass of salt Z in saturated solution = 55.5g
Number of moles of salt = \(\frac{55.5}{101}\) = 0.55mole
3503 of solution contains 0.55mole
1000cm3 will contain \(\frac{1000 \times 0.55}{350}\) = 1.57mol/dm3
