Solution

The correct option is A

3.4% (w/v)


Volume strength refers to the volume of oxygen gas liberated from that solution. 11.2 V means that 11.2 litres of oxygen released.

The balanced reaction is:

2H2O22H2O+O2

2 moles release 22.4 litres, 1 mole would release 11.2 litres.

So, the molarity of the given solution is 1 M.

Now, % (w/v) =weight of solute in g100 mL solution

Since molarity is expressed per litre of solution, or 1000 mL, we can find the mass in the given molarity and divide it by 10 to get the mass in 100 mL.

=Molarity×mol.wt. of solute×110

=1×34×110=3.4%
