Options:
  • A \(0.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}\)
  • B \(0.4 \mathrm{M}\)
  • C \(0.25 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}\)
  • D \(0.5 \mathrm{M}\)
Solution:

The correct answer is: \(0.5 \mathrm{M}\)
\(\therefore\) Molarity \(=\frac{\text { Mass of solute }\left(\text { in } \mathrm{gL}^{-1}\right)}{\text { Molar of solute }\left(\text { in } \mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right)}\)
\(=\frac{\frac{10}{500} \times 1000}{40} \mathrm{M}=0.5 \mathrm{M}\)
