Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • $ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} 100ml \\ m=? \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3NaOH+Fecl _3}},\to \underset{2.14gm}{\mathop{Fe{{(CH)}_3}+NaCl}}, $ Moles of $ Fe(CH _3)=\frac{2.14}{107}=2\times {10^{-2}}mol $ moles $ FeCl _3=2\times {10^{-2}}mol $ $ M=\frac{2\times {10^{-2}}}{100}\times 1000=0.2M $
