Solution
The correct option is B 0.33 M Let’s take the volume as V L of each solution.
Moles of HCl, NaOH and NaCl present initially = 0.50V, 0.25V and 0.75V respectively. HCl+NaOH→NaCl
0.50V 0.25V - (number of moles before reaction)
HCl and NaOH react to produce 0.25V M of NaCl
Total moles of NaCl in the solution = 0.25V (after reaction) + 0.75V (given)
Total moles of NaCl in the solution = V moles Molarity=total moles of NaCltotal volume in L=V3VMM=13M=0.33M
