Solution

The correct option is B 37.92 %, 7.73 M
Given Na2S2O3 has molarity = 3 mol L1. This implies that 3 mol of Na2S2O3 are present in 1 L of solution.
Weight of Na2S2O3=Molar mass×Mole
=3×158=474 g
and Volume of solution = 1 litre =1000 mL
Also density of solution is 1.25 gml1
Hence weight of solution =1000×1.25=1250 g
Weight of solvent i.e water =1250474=776 g
% by weight of Na2S2O3=Weight of Na2S2O3Weight of Na2S2O3+Weight of H2O
4741250×100=37.92
3 mol of Na2S2O3 gives 6 mol of Na+ and 3 mol of S2O23
Molality of Na+=Mole of Na+Weight of water (g)×1000=6×1000776=7.732 m
