Solution

The correct option is E 0.40M
AgNO3+NaClAgCl+NaNO3
The molar mass of AgCl is 108+35.5=143.5 g/mol.
5.7 g AgCl corresponds to 5.7g143.5g/mol=0.040mol.
The number of moles of Ag+ ions is equal to the number of moles of AgCl. It is 0.040 moles
The molar concentration is the ratio of the number of moles of Ag+ ions to total volume of solution in L.
It is 0.040mol100mL×100mL1000mL=0.40 M.
