Answer:
1.54grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Molarity of a solution = n/V
Where;
n = number of moles (mol)
V = volume (L)
Based on the information given in this question;
Volume of NaOH solution = 5.0 × 10ml
= 50ml = 50/1000 = 0.050 L
Molarity = 0. 77 M
Using; Molarity = n/V
0.77 = n/0.05
n = 0.77 × 0.05
n = 0.0385mol
To find the mass (grams) of NaOH in the solution, we use the following formula:
mole (n) = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 1 + 16 = 40g/mol
0.0385 = mass/40
mass = 0.0385 × 40
mass = 1.54grams.
