Question

what volume, in liters, of 2.0 m naoh solution can be made using 500.0 g naoh? naoh: 39.997 g/mol

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate moles of NaOH

Molar mass of NaOH is 39.997 g/mol. Moles = mass / molar mass. So moles of NaOH = $\frac{500.0\ g}{39.997\ g/mol} \approx 12.5\ mol$.

Step2: Use molarity formula to find volume

Molarity (M) = moles (n) / volume (V in liters). Rearranged, V = n / M. Given M = 2.0 M, n = 12.5 mol. So V = $\frac{12.5\ mol}{2.0\ mol/L} = 6.25\ L$.

Answer:

6.25
