Final answer:
Using the formula for molarity, the volume of a 0.25 M NaOH solution made from 0.55 moles of NaOH calculates to 2200 mL. There may be a typo in the question, as 2200 mL is not listed; however, 2.20 mL is a possible typo error for 2200 mL.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks what volume of a 0.25 M NaOH solution can be made using 0.55 moles of NaOH. To solve this problem, we need to use the formula: Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters (L).
We can rearrange this formula to solve for the volume of the solution: Volume of solution = moles of solute / Molarity (M).
Substituting the given values into the formula: Volume of solution = 0.55 moles / 0.25 M = 2.2 L. Since the volume is typically given in milliliters (mL) in this context, we convert liters to milliliters: 2.2 L = 2200 mL.
Therefore, the volume (mL) of a 0.25 M solution that can be made using 0.55 moles of NaOH is 2200 mL, which is not an option given in the multiple choice. However, if the student was meant to divide by 1000 to convert to liters before converting to milliliters, the answer could be 2.20 mL, which is closest to the given answer choice (a).
