We are required to calculate the molarity, given:

Volume = 150 mL = 0.150 L

mass of KOH = 25.0 g

Formular for molarity:

C = n/V

Before we can get C, we need to calculate n, the number of moles of KOH.

n = m/M where m is the mass and M is the molar mass

n = 25.0 g/56,1056 g/mol

n = 0.446 mol

Now we can calculate C, the molarity

C = 0.446 mol/0.150L

C = 2.97 mol/L or 2.97 M
