Correct answer: D

  1. Use the formula for molarity after mixing

For solutions of the same solute, total moles are added:

ntotal=n1+n2=M1V1+M2V2n_{\text{total}} = n_1 + n_2 = M_1V_1 + M_2V_2ntotal​=n1​+n2​=M1​V1​+M2​V2​

and final molarity is

Mfinal=ntotalVtotalM_{\text{final}} = \frac{n_{\text{total}}}{V_{\text{total}}}Mfinal​=Vtotal​ntotal​​

Make sure volume is in liters.

  1. Convert volumes to liters

750 mL=0.750 L750\,\text{mL} = 0.750\,\text{L}750mL=0.750L 250 mL=0.250 L250\,\text{mL} = 0.250\,\text{L}250mL=0.250L

  1. Calculate moles of HCl in each solution

For the first solution:

n1=M1V1=0.5×0.750=0.375 moln_1 = M_1V_1 = 0.5 \times 0.750 = 0.375\,\text{mol}n1​=M1​V1​=0.5×0.750=0.375mol

For the second solution:

n2=M2V2=2.0×0.250=0.500 moln_2 = M_2V_2 = 2.0 \times 0.250 = 0.500\,\text{mol}n2​=M2​V2​=2.0×0.250=0.500mol

  1. Find total moles

ntotal=0.375+0.500=0.875 moln_{\text{total}} = 0.375 + 0.500 = 0.875\,\text{mol}ntotal​=0.375+0.500=0.875mol

  1. Find total volume

Vtotal=0.750+0.250=1.000 LV_{\text{total}} = 0.750 + 0.250 = 1.000\,\text{L}Vtotal​=0.750+0.250=1.000L

  1. Calculate final molarity

Mfinal=0.8751.000=0.875 MM_{\text{final}} = \frac{0.875}{1.000} = 0.875\,\text{M}Mfinal​=1.0000.875​=0.875M

  1. Match with the options

0.875 M0.875\,\text{M}0.875M corresponds to Option D.


Comparison with stored correct answer:

Stored correct answer = D

Derived answer = D

So, the derived answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
