Solution
The correct option is A 16 1 mole of ferric sulphate dissociates in water to give 3 moles of sulphate ions.
Hence, x400 moles of ferric sulphate present in 1 L will dissociate to form 3x400 moles of of sulphate ions.
But moles of sulphate ions present in 1 ml are 1.2×10−4.
Hence, 3x400×1000=1.2×10−4
x=16g.
16 g of ferric sulphate was dissolved in 1 L of solution.
