Question

An acid has a molarity of 0.01 M. What does the 0.01 M refer to?

the strength of the acid A
the concentration of the acid B
the amount of base present in the acid C
the amount of base needed to neutralize the acid D

Answer 1

0.01 M refers to the concentration of the acid.

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, The concentration of the acid.

Explanation :

Molarity : Molarity is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of the solution. Or it is defined as the concentration of solute present in one liter of solution.

The unit of molarity is, (M) i.e, mole/liter. It is also known as molar concentration.

Molarity of 0.01 M means, 0.01 concentration of the acid present in the solution.

Therefore, the 0.01 M refer to the concentration of the acid.
