Answer:

The correct answer will be "[tex]9.45\times 10^{-5} \ mol/L[/tex]".

Explanation:

We have:

Moles of solute (Na₂Co₃) = [tex]18.9 \mu \ mol[/tex]

                                           = [tex]18.9\times 10^{-6}[/tex]

                               [tex]1 \mu \ mol[/tex] = [tex]10^{-6} \ mol[/tex]

Now,

The volume of the solution will be:

⇒  [tex]0.200 \ L[/tex]

∴ [tex]{1 \ mL=0.001 \ L}[/tex]

The formula to find the concentration will be:

⇒  [tex]Concentration = \frac{moles \ of \ solute \ (mol)}{Volume \ of \ solution \ (L)}[/tex]

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                          [tex]=\frac{18.9\times 10^{-6}}{0.200}[/tex]

⇒                          [tex]=9.45\times 10^{-5} \ mol/L[/tex]
