im not sure how u solve these types of problems...

How many moles of NaOH are contained in 200ml of a 0.1M of NaOH?

How many grams of NaOH are contained in 500ml of a .5M solution of NaOH?

<<How many moles of NaOH are contained in 200ml of a 0.1M of NaOH? >>
A 0.1 M solution has 0.1 moles of the solute NaOH per liter. You have 0.2 liters. The answer is therefore 0.1 x 0.2 moles.

Do the second problem similarly to get the numner of moles of NaOH, and then multiply by the molecular weight of NaOH to get the answer in grams of NaOH.

To solve the first problem, you need to understand that the concentration of a solution is given in moles per liter (Molarity, M). In this case, the solution has a concentration of 0.1 moles of NaOH per liter (0.1M).

To find out how many moles of NaOH are in 200ml of the solution, you need to convert the volume from milliliters to liters.

Step 1: Convert 200ml to liters
200ml ÷ 1000 = 0.2 liters

Step 2: Multiply the volume (in liters) by the concentration (in moles per liter)
0.2 liters x 0.1 moles/liter = 0.02 moles of NaOH

Therefore, there are 0.02 moles of NaOH in 200ml of a 0.1M NaOH solution.

To solve the second problem, you can use a similar approach.

Step 1: Convert 500ml to liters
500ml ÷ 1000 = 0.5 liters

Step 2: Multiply the volume (in liters) by the concentration (in moles per liter)
0.5 liters x 0.5 moles/liter = 0.25 moles of NaOH

Once you have the number of moles of NaOH, you can find the mass in grams by using the formula:

mass (in grams) = moles x molecular weight

The molecular weight of NaOH is 22.99 g/mol for sodium (Na), plus 15.999 g/mol for oxygen (O), plus 1.008 g/mol for hydrogen (H). Adding these values gives a molecular weight of 39.997 g/mol.

Step 3: Multiply the number of moles by the molecular weight
0.25 moles x 39.997 g/mol = 9.99925 grams

Therefore, there are approximately 9.99925 grams of NaOH in 500ml of a 0.5M NaOH solution.
