Solution

The correct option is A 0.06 M
The molar mass of BaCl2.8H2O is 352.23 g/mol.

10.56 g of BaCl2.8H2O corresponds to 10.56352.23=0.03 moles. It is present in 1 L of solution.

Hence, the molarity of BaCl2.8H2O is 0.03 M.

1 mole of BaCl2.8H2O gives two moles of chloride ions. Hence, the molarity of chloride ions is 2×0.03=0.06M.
