Question

If a solution is made by adding 0.250 grams of NaOH in enough H2O to make 10.0 mL of solution, what's the molarity of the solution? 

Expert Solution
Introduction:

The major factor involved in changing molarity (solution's concentration) is the temperature. Since, this concentration depends on volume which in turn is dependent on the temperature (Gay-Lussac law).

Given:

The mass of NaOH is 0.250 g.

The volume of solution is 10.0 mL.

Solution:

The formula to calculate molarity is shown below.

Moles of NaOH:

The formula to calculate moles is shown below.

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 2

The molar mass of NaOH is 40.0 g/mol.

 

Substitute the known values in equation (II) to calculate moles of NaOH.
