    Option A is correct

    Explanation:

    Data given:

    Steps for preparation of 0.5 M solution = ?

    Solution:

    Molarity: This the term used for the concentration of the solution. It is the amount of solute in moles dissolve in 1 Liter of solution.

    Formula used for Molarity

    Molarity = number of moles of solute / 1 L of solution

    From the above definition and formula it is clear that we have to know the following things.

    no. of moles of f the solute we also should know that of what concentration we are preparing solution in terms of molarity The total amount of should be in liter of solution not solvent separately

    Now:

    As we couldn't weight mole on balance so have to convert moles to grams by using molar mass or mass in grams formula

    As

    1 mole = mass in grams / molar mass

    so to convert mole to mass rearrange the above equation

    mass in grams = 1 mole x molar mass

    So,

    1 mole of any substance equal to its molar mass

    Now, to prepare 0.5 M solution of FeCl₃

    First we find molar mass and weigh it

    So,

    1 mole of FeCl₃ = molar mass of FeCl₃

    for 0.5 M

    Multiply the molar mass with 0.5

    To make 1 L of solution

    As we know that molarity is the amount of solution in liter of solution not solvent, so we add the calculated amount of solute in volumetric flask and then add water till the 1 L mark. that is amount of solute plus solvent combined form 1 L of Solution.

    So, Option A is correct: Find the molar mass of FeCl3 and multiply by 0.5 to find the amount. Add this amount in a volumetric flask and add water till the 1 L mark
