Detailed Solution

We know that Molarity=No. of moles of soluteVolume of solution( in litres)

Molarity = Mass of solute ×1000 Molar mass of solute× V (in mL)

Therefore, Unit of molarity is mol L-1 or mol dm-3.

Hence, statement (a) is incorrect.

And, we also know that

Normality =n(net valence)× Molarity, 

for dibasic acid n=2

Therefore, Molarity = Normality 2

Molarity = Normality × GEW  GMW = Mass per dm3 GMW 

Hence, statements (b) and (c) are correct.

And, statement (d) is also incorrect because it is not neccessary that molarity and molality are always equal.

Hence, option(b) is correct.
