Question

65 g of NaOH is dissolved to make 500 mL of solution. Find moles of NaPH and Molarity of solution.

Answer 1

3.25 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

mass of NaOH = 65 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Number of moles of NaOH = 65g/40 g/mol = 1.625 moles

Let us recall that;

n = CV

n = number of moles of solute

C = concentration of solution

V = volume of solution

C = n/V

n = 1.625 moles

V = 500/1000 L = 0.5 L

C = 1.625 moles/0.5

C = 3.25 M
