First, we need to know that 6M means 6 mol/L.

So, we have 6 mol of KOH in 1 liter of solution.

To know the amount in grams, we need to use the following formula:

mass = moles x molar mass of KOH

molar mass of KOH is 56.1056 g/mol.

So:

56.1056 g--- 1 mol

x g --- 6 mol

x = 336.6 g

Answer: There are 336.6 g of solute.
