what mass of sodium hydroxide is needed to make 750 ml of a 125 mM sodium hydroxide solution? (FW= 58.4 g)
please explain this in great detail as I am not very strong in chemistry....is there an equation or what is your reasoning behind the answer?
step-1 convert the millimolar (mM) in to Molar (M)
to convert this we have to divide given mM with 1000
125 mM convert in M = 125/1000 = 0.125 M
now use the direct Molarity formula formula
Molarity (M) = (mass of NaOH / molar mass of NaOH) x 1000 / volume in mL
M = molaarity that we got = 0.125 M
Mass of NaOH we have to calculate
molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol (from wiki)
volume of the solvent = 750 mL
plug in all these values in above equation
0.125M = (mass of NaOH / 40 g/mol ) x 1000 / 750
Mass of NaOH = 0.125 / 0.033
= 3.78 grams
