Solution

The correct option is D 228×6.023×1023
58.5 g of NaCl=58.5 g58.5 g/mol=1 mol of NaCl

360 g of H2O=360 g18 g/mol=20 mol of H2O

Number of electrons in 1 formula unit of NaCl=11+17=28e
Number of electrons in 1 molecule of H2O=2+8=10
Number of electrons in 1 mol of NaCl=28×NA
Number of electrons in 20 mol of H2O=200×NA
So, the total number of electrons in the solution = 228NA
