Answer:
74.5 g of NaOH is dissolved in water to 1.50L of Solution .
We have been asked to find the molarity of solution
Formula to calculate Molarity
[tex] \\ \bullet{\boxed{\blue{\bf {molarity= \frac{moles \: of \: solute }{volume \: of \: solution} }}}}[/tex]
First Let's find the Molar Mass of NaOH
[tex] \implies \sf \:molar \: mass \: of \: NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 \\ \\ \implies\sf \:molar \: mass \: of \: NaOH =40g {mol}^{ - 1} [/tex]
[tex] \bf \: moles \: of \: solute \: = \dfrac{mass}{molar \: mass} [/tex]
Put the given value we get
[tex] \sf \implies \: moles \: of \: solute \: = \dfrac{74.5}{40} \\ \\ \sf \implies \: moles \: of \: solute \: = 1.8625 \: mole[/tex]
Now calculating the molarity of given solution
[tex] \\ \bullet{\boxed{\blue{\bf {molarity= \frac{moles \: of \: solute }{volume \: of \: solution} }}}}[/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies \: molarity \: = \dfrac{1.8625}{1.50} \\ \\ \sf \implies \: molarity \: =1.24 \: M[/tex]
So, the molarity of the solution is 1.24M
Option (A) is your correct answer.
The molarity of the solution prepared by dissolving 74.5 g of NaOH in water is 1.24 M (Option A)
What is molarity?
This is defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
Molarity = mole / Volume
How to determine the mole of NaOH
- Mass of NaOH = 74.5 g
- Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol
- Mole of NaOH =?
Mole = mass / molar mass
Mole of NaOH = 74.5 / 40
Mole of NaOH = 1.8625 mole
How to determine the molarity
- Mole of NaOH = 1.8625 mole
- Volume = 1.5 L
- Molarity =?
Molarity = mole / Volume
Molarity = 1.8625 / 1.5
Molarity = 1.24 M
