4 g of NaOH are dissolved in 200 cm^3 of water. Find the molarity of the solution.

Answer»

Solution :Mass of NaOH dissolved = 4g
Molecular mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 +1 = 40
`THEREFORE` Moles of NaOH dissolved `=4/40 = 0.1`
Volume of water taken `=200 cm^(3) = 200 xx 10^(-3) L`
The molarity of the solution `=("No. of moles of NaOH")/("Volume in litres")`
`=0.1/(200 xx 10^(-3))`
`=0.5 mol L^(-1)`
Hence, the given solution is 0.5 M
