Solution

The correct option is B 0.33 M
Let M and V be the final molar concentration and final volume. M1 and V1 are the molar concentration and volume of 3 L of 0.5 M NaCl. M2 and V2 are the molar concentration and volume of 9 L of 0.2777 M NaCl.
MV=M1V1+M2V2
M×(3+9)L=0.5M×3L+0.2777M×9L
12M=1.5+2.5=4
M=412=0.33
Hence, the concentration of the final solution is 0.33 M.
