Answer:

0.04 mol/ Liter

Explanation:

If you have 8.1 grams of NaOH in 5 L of solution, what is the molarity? (Round answers to the nearest hundredth)

The formula for molarity = Number of moles/ Volume in Liters

Step 1

Find the Number of moles of NaOH

We find the Molar mass of NaOH

Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1

Molar mass = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

Grams of NaOH in the solution = 8.1 grams

Number of moles = Mass/Molar mass

= 8.1 g/40 g/mol

= 0.2025 moles

Step 2

Molarity = 0.2025moles/ 5 L

= 0.0405 mol/ Liter

Approximately = 0.04 mol/L
