sodium hydroxide is extremely soluble in water. at a certain temperature, a saturated solution contains 527 g naoh(s) per liter of solution. calculate the molarity of this saturated naoh(aq) solution.\nconcentration: m

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate molar mass of NaOH

The molar mass of Na ($22.99\ g/mol$), O ($16.00\ g/mol$) and H ($1.01\ g/mol$). So molar mass of NaOH, $M = 22.99+16.00 + 1.01=40.00\ g/mol$.

Step2: Calculate molarity

Molarity $M=\frac{n}{V}$, where $n$ is the number of moles and $V$ is the volume of solution in liters. Given mass of NaOH $m = 527\ g$ and volume $V = 1\ L$. Number of moles $n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{527\ g}{40.00\ g/mol}=13.175\ mol$. Molarity $M=\frac{13.175\ mol}{1\ L}=13.175\ M$.

Answer:

$13.175$
