There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. The mass of NaOH needed for the solution is calculated as follows:
2 M = amount in moles of solute / 2.5 L
amount in moles of solute = 5 mol NaOH
amount in grams = 5 x 40 = 200 grams NaOH
Answer:
Mass = 200 g
Solution:
Molarity is the amount of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution. It is expressed as,
Molarity = Moles / Volume of Solution ----- (1)
Data Given;
Molarity = 2.0 mol.L⁻¹
Volume = 2.5 L
M.Mass = 40.0 g.mol⁻¹
First calculate Moles as,
Moles = Molarity × Volume
Putting Values,
Moles = 2.0 mol.L⁻¹ × 2.5 L
Moles = 5 mol
Secondly, calculate Mass using following formula,
Moles = Mass ÷ M.Mass
Solving for Mass,
Mass = Moles × M.Mass
Putting Values,
Mass = 5 mol × 40.0 g.mol⁻¹
Mass = 200 g
Solution Preparation:
Add 200 g of NaOH in a Volumetric Flask and add distilled water upto the mark of 2.5 L. Shake it and you have prepared a 2.5 L of 2.0 M solution of NaOH.
