Detailed Solution

By Ostwald's dilution law :

N1V1=N2V2

Where N1and N2 are the normalities of the first and second solutions respectively 

V1 is the volume of solution used to neutralise the V2 volume of second solution.


So, on putting the given values in the equation we get :


N1V1=N2V2 110×20=(n- factor × molarity )×25


Now the n-factor for the dibasic acid is 2, therefore:


110=×20=2× weight  molecularweight  Volume (l)×25


Or, =  22×3 molecellar weight  sout  1000 ×25
Or,6 molecular weight ×25=1


Or, Molecular weight =150 g

 

Hence, Option A is the right choice
