40 g NaOH. You must use 40 g NaOH to prepare 10.0 L of a solution that has a pH of 13.
<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the pOH of the solution
pOH = 14.00 – pH = 14.00 -13 = 1
<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the concentration of NaOH
[NaOH] = [OH^(-)] = 10^(-pOH) mol/L = 10^(-1) mol/L = 0.1 mol/L
<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the moles of NaOH
Moles of NaOH = 10.0 L solution × (0.1 mol NaOH/1 L solution) = 1 mol NaOH
<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the mass of NaOH
Mass of NaOH = 1 mol NaOH × (40.00 g NaOH/1 mol NaOH) = 40 g NaOH
