Answer:

The molar mass of BeSO4 is:

9 + 32 + (4x16) = 137 g/mol

To calculate the volume of a 9 M solution containing 90 grams of BeSO4, we can use the formula:

moles = mass / molar mass

moles = 90 g / 137 g/mol

moles = 0.657 g

Then, we can use the formula:

M = moles / volume (in liters)

Rearranging this formula, we get:

volume (in liters) = moles / M

volume (in liters) = 0.657 / 9

volume (in liters) = 0.073 L

Finally, we convert the volume from liters to milliliters:

volume (in mL) = 0.073 L x 1000 mL/L

volume (in mL) = 73 mL

Therefore, the answer is not one of the choices provided. The closest option is C) 77 mL.
