Solution
The correct option is B0.33M 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 0.5MNaCl. M2 and V2 are the molar concentration and volume of 9 L of 0.2777MNaCl. 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 0.33M.
