Question:

Molarity of solution containing 8 g of NaOH in 200 mL solution is:

(Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g mol-1)

Options:

25 M

1 M

0.001 M

\(\frac{1}{25}\) M

Correct Answer:

1 M

Explanation:

No. of moles of NaOH = \(\frac{8}{40}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) = 0.2

Volume of solution = 200 mL

Molarity, M = \(\frac{\text{No. of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\) x 1000

M = \(\frac{0.2}{200}\) x 1000 = 1 M
