Question

Help with finding volume?
What volume of 1.25 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution can be prepared using 60.0 g of sodium hydroxide? (The mass of one mole of NaOH is 40.0 g.)

Answer 1

molarity=moles/L of solvent (i.e. volume)

moles=mass/molar mass

molarity=(mass/molar mass)/volume

1.25 M = (60 g/(40g/mol))/V

solving for V,

V (in L)=(60 g/(40g/mol))/1.25M

Answer 2

So the answer is 1.88 L rounded?
