How do you make 100 mL of 6 M Sodium Hydroxide given solid NaOH pellets
.6/1L = .1L/xmoles
Convert 100 ml to L
6 mol/L x 0.1L = 0.6 mol of NaOH
0.6 mol NaOH x 39.996g/mol NaOH = 23.9976g NaOH
So you would need about 24grams of NaOH pellets to make a 100ml of 6M NaOH
To make 100 mL of 6 M Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution using solid NaOH pellets, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Begin by determining the number of moles of NaOH required. The molarity (M) of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. In this case, you want to make a 6 M solution, which means you need 6 moles of NaOH for every liter of solution.
2. Convert the desired volume of the solution from liters to milliliters. Since 1 L is equal to 1000 mL, you want to make a 100 mL solution.
3. Use the information given to set up a ratio and solve for the number of moles of NaOH needed. The ratio will be: 6 moles/1 liter = x moles/0.1 liter. Rearrange the equation to solve for x: x = (6 moles * 0.1 liter) / 1 liter = 0.6 moles.
4. Calculate the mass of NaOH needed using the molar mass of NaOH, which is approximately 40 grams/mole. Multiply the number of moles (0.6 moles) by the molar mass (40 grams/mole) to get the mass: 0.6 moles * 40 grams/mole = 24 grams.
Therefore, to make 100 mL of a 6 M NaOH solution, you would need approximately 24 grams of solid NaOH pellets.
