Answer:

0.150 M

Step-by-step explanation:

The molarity of the solution can be calculated using the formula;

C1V1 = C2V2

Where; C1 = initial concentration of solution

C2 = final concentration of solution

V1 = volume of initial solution

V2 = volume of final solution

According to this question, C1 = 0.200M, C2 = ?, V1 = 75mL, V2 = 100.0mL

Hence,

C1V1 = C2V2

0.200 × 75 = C2 × 100

15 = 100C2

C2 = 15/100

C2 = 0.150M

Therefore, the molarity of the final KCl solution is 0.150M
