Detailed Solution

V1=100 mL  ;   V2=?

M1=0.1 M     ;    M2=0.2 M

V1M1=V2M2

100 X 0.1=  V2 X 0.2

V2=50 mL

By evaporating 50 mL of solution, molarity of the solution becomes 0.2 M.

Moles present in solution of molarity 0.1 M with solution 100 mL is:

Moles=Molarity×Volume (in L)=0.1 M×100 mL×1 L1000 mL=0.01 mol

Moles present in solution of molarity 0.2 M with solution 100 mL is:

Moles=Molarity×Volume (in L)=0.2 M×100 mL×1 L1000 mL=0.02 mol

By adding 0.01 moles of KCl, molarity increases to 0.2 M.
