Question

7. Calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide you will need to make 250 mL of a 0.1 M solution of sodium hydroxide.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 250 mL (250 mL × 1 L/1000 mL = 0.25 L)

Molarity of solution = 0.1 M

Amount of sodium hydroxide = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

0.1 M = number of moles /0.25 L

Number of moles = 0.1 M × 0.25 L

            M = mol/ L

Number of moles = 0.025 mol

Mass of sodium hydroxide:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 mol ×40 g/mol

Mass = 1 g
