    Two bottles A and B contains 1 M and 1 m aqueous solution of sulphuric acid  respectively

    A) A is more concentrated than B

    B) B is more concentrated than A

    C) concentration of A is equal to concentration of B

    D) it is not possible to compare the concentrations

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\text{1 M }{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] means 1 mole \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] in 1000 cc of solution whereas 1 m means 1 mole \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]in 1000 g of water (= 1000 cc of water). Total volume of 1 m solution will be > 1000 cc due to extra 1 mole \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\].Hence, number of moles per 1000 cc will be less than 1 mole. Thus, 1 m is less concentrated than 1M.
