The moles of barium nitrate in the solution has been 0.5 mol. Thus, the correct option is B.
Molarity has been defined as the moles of substance in a liter of solution. Molarity has been expressed as:
[tex]\rm Molarity=\dfrac{Moles}{Volume} [/tex]
The given barium nitrate solution has the volume of 0.25 L.
The molarity of the solution has been 2 M.
Substituting the values for the moles of Barium nitrate
[tex]\rm 2=\dfrac{Moles}{0.25}\\ Moles=2\;\times\;0.25\;mol\\ Moles=0.5\;mol[/tex]
The moles of barium nitrate in the solution has been 0.5 mol. Thus, the correct option is B.
