Can anyone show me how to work this problem:

How many grams of NaOH (40g/mol) are there in 250ml of 0.4 M NaOH solution? 😳

 

[allstardentist]

.250L of soln x .4mol NaOH/1L solution x 40g of NaOH/1 mol = the answer.

Because M or Molarity = Mol of solute/kg of solvent. 1000ml = 1 kg
Mol =(Molarity)*(kg of solvent)

Just in case you wonder how to get the answer

thats actually molality.... molality(m) = molessolute/kg solvent
MOlarity is M so to do the problem (.250L)*(0.4M)=0.1000moles

0.100moles*(40grams/1mol)=4.0grams

thanks allstar for the help!

no problem

no problem

Thanks for the clarity. I alway messed up
these two guys,
Molarity and molality
