4.0 g of sodium hydroxide in 250 cm3 of solution contains?
A
0.40 moles per dm3
B
0.10 moles per dm3
C
0.04 moles per dm3
D
0.02 moles per dm3
correct option: a
Unit of concentration = (moles)/(dm3)
If 250 cm3 solution NaOH contains 4.0 g NaOH
i.e -1cm3 solution NaOH (4.0)/(250) g
∴ 1000 cm3 (1 dm3) will contain (40 x 1000) / (250 x 1) = 16 g/dm3
16 g/dm3 = 16g/dm3 + molar mass NaOH
because no of moles = (mass of substance given) / (molar mass)
∴ (16 g) / (40 g) dm3 = (16 g)/(dm3 x (1 mole)/ (40g) = 0.4 (moles)/(dm3)
