Answer:

b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the concentration of a solution is we simply divide the number of moles of the solute with total solution volume in liters. This gives the molar concentration of a solution. Clearly we do not use the number of moles of the entire compound but only that of solute.

Hence, we can conclude that the given statement is false.
