. What is the molarity of a solution in which 6.50 mol of NaOH is dissolved in

enough water to make a 4.5 liter solution?
Molarity (M) = moles solute = liters of solution
A. 0.731 M
B. 57.8 M
C. 0.0361 M
D. 0.0917 M

Answer:

For 6.50 mol NaOH - 1.44M.

For 6.50 g NaOH - C. 0.0361 M

Step-by-step explanation:

For 6.50 mol NaOH.

Molarity = moles solute/L solution = 6.5 mol/4.5 L solution = 1.44 mol/L=1.44M

There is no such answer in given choices.

For 6.50 g NaOH

M(NaOH) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

Molarity = 6.5g* 1 mol/40g *1/4.5L = 0.0361 mol/L = 0.0361 M

There is such answer. It is C.
