4L of 0.02M aqueous solution of NaCl was diluted by adding one litre of water. The molarity of the resultant solution is :
Correct option: (D)
Analyzing the given conditions:
M1=0.02M
V1=4L
After dilution, 1 L of water is added
M2=?
V2=(4+1)L=5L
According to molarity equation
M1V1=M2V2
So, 0.02×4=M2×5
M2=0.016M
Thus, the correct option is A.
