Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molarity (M) is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution, so the correct option is D. Option A refers to the concentration in terms of moles per liter of solvent, while options B and C refer to the concentration in terms of grams rather than moles. Option E refers to the concentration in terms of moles per 100 mL of solution, which is not a common unit of concentration.
