Question

Consider a 0.238 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH.

How many grams of NaOH are dissolved in 23.46 mL?

Answer 1

0.2237 grams of NaOH

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the grams of NaOH dissolved in 23.46 mL of a 0.238 M solution of NaOH, we can use the formula:

mass = molarity x volume x molar mass

where mass is the mass of NaOH dissolved in grams, molarity is the concentration of NaOH in moles per liter, volume is the volume of the solution in liters, and molar mass is the molar mass of NaOH in grams per mole.

First, we need to convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters:

volume = 23.46 mL / 1000 mL/L

volume = 0.02346 L

The molar mass of NaOH is 40.00 g/mol.

Now we can plug in the values and solve for mass:

mass = 0.238 M x 0.02346 L x 40.00 g/mol

mass = 0.2237 g

Therefore, there are 0.2237 grams of NaOH dissolved in 23.46 mL of a 0.238 M solution of NaOH.
