Question

How many grams are in 2.40 moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?

Answer 1

96g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NaOH = 2.4moles

Unknown:

Mass of NaOH = ?

Solution:

The mass of a substance given the number of moles can be found using the expression below;

Mass of NaOH = Number of moles x molar mass;

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

Now input the parameters and solve;

Mass of NaOH = 2.4 x 40 = 96g
