We are given with a <span>temperature of 273.15 Kelvin and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. Using PV=nRT rule of ideal gas, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is temperature, we can conclude that the conditions are under STP(standard temp and pressure) and one mole of this gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.</span>
Answer:
9.0 g
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemist must prepare 0.9 L of sodium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.40 at 25°C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a volumetric flask about halfway with distilled water. Weigh out a small amount of solid sodium hydroxide and add it to the flask. Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Calculate the pOH
We use the following expression.
pH + pOH = 14.00
pOH = 14.00 - pH = 14.00 - 13.40 = 0.60
Step 2: Calculate [OH⁻]
We use the following expression.
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog -pOH = antilog -0.60 = 0.25 M
Step 3: Calculate [NaOH]
NaOH is a strong base that releases 1 OH⁻. Then, [NaOH] = 0.25 M
Step 4: Calculate the mass of NaOH
The molar mass of NaOH is 40.00 g/mol. The mass required to prepare 0.9 L of a 0.25 M solution is:
You could argue that any solution with water in it has an equilibrium in it of some sort. If a solution is over saturated there is an equilibrium between the dissociated and solid solute (for example NaCl(s)⇄Na⁺(aq)+Cl⁻(aq) when in water). Even if the solution is not over saturated, water always has the reaction 2H₂O(l)⇄H₃O⁺(aq)+OH⁻(aq) since water can act as both an acid and a base (this reaction is also always at equilibrium and the equilibrium constant is 1×10⁻¹⁴).
Since we usually ignore the autoionization of water (unless dealing with acid base chemistry), I think the answer your teacher is looking for is over saturated solutions.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear or if you need a different answer.

We know, pH of this solution :
Hence, this is the required solution.
