How many grams of Sodium hydroxide are present in 50.0 mL of a Sodium hydroxide solution that is 0.0950 M?
moles solute = molarity x L of solution
50ml = 0.05 L
0.0950 M * 0.05 L = 0.0475 moles solute

0.0475 moles solute * 39.99711 g OH = 1.90 g OH
Is this correct @cuanchi ?

$$liters*\frac{ mol }{ L } = moles $$


$$moles solute NaOH* \frac{ mass NaOH }{ 1 mol }$$

photon336 · Answer

That was supposed to be molar mass of NaOH, that's just to illustrate how the units cancel out, and that's why it's important to include them in your calculation.

@Photon336  I submitted and it says it's incorrect.

photon336 · Answer

they give you (molarity) and the volume of NaOH  and ask for the number of grams but she says that the procedure she did was wrong,

taramgrant0543664 · Answer

When I type it into my calculator for that first part the 0.0950x0.05 I get 0.00475 not 0.0475 so that would give a final answer of 0.1899g

photon336 · Answer

Tara I assumed that her numbers were correct, I was just checking like how she did the set up

taramgrant0543664 · Answer

Ya I saw the set up was fine so I questioned the calculations simple error

@lena772
Did you get what tara explained?
However, all given non-exact information is given to 3 significant figures, so the answer should be 0.190 g as opposed to 0.19 g.
The number of significant figures in Chemistry is of utmost importance.
