Solution

The correct option is A 12.5 M
Let the moles of sodium carbonate be denoted as ‘a’ mol
According to the given data:
90 g of water is present in 100 mL of the solution.
The given ratio of moles of sodium carbonate to the total number of moles in solution does not change.
Number of moles of water present in 100 mL of the solution =9018=5 mol
moles of sodium carbonatetotal number ofmoles=15
15=moles of sodium carbonatemoles of sodium carbonate+moles of water
15=aa+5
On solving, a = 1.25 mol
molarity=moles of solutevolume of solution in L
molarity=1.250×1000100=12.50 M
