What is the molarity of the solution formed by dissolving 80. G of NAOH(s) into water to give a total volume of 4.00 l

0.5 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of NaOH = 80 g

Volume of solution = 4 L

Molarity =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 80 g of NaOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaOH = 80 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1

= 40 g/mol

Mole of NaOH =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of NaOH = 80 / 40

Mole of NaOH = 2 moles

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaOH = 2 moles

Volume of solution = 4 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 2/4

Molarity = 0.5 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.5 M.
