Macy · Answer 1

A solution (2) prepared by dissolving 10.5 g (0.250 mol) of naf in enough water to make 100 ml of solution is more concentrated.

Explanation:

Calculate the molarity of Solution 1

M = (moles) * 1000 / V (ml)

M = (0.500) * 1000/500 = 1 M

Calculate the molarity of Solution 2

M = (moles) * 1000 / V (ml)

M = (0.250) * 1000/100 = 2.5 M

Result:

As the molarity of Solution two is greater than solution 1. so Solution 2 is more concentrated
