Answer: The mass of NaOH is 40 g
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}[/tex] .....(1)
Given values:
Molarity of NaOH = 1 M
Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol
Volume of the solution = [tex]1000cm^3=1000 mL[/tex] (Conversion factor: [tex]1cm^3=1mL[/tex])
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]1=\frac{\text{Mass of NaOH}\times 1000}{40\times 1000}\\\\\text{Mass of NaOH}=\frac{1\times 40\times 1000}{1000}=40g[/tex]
Hence, the mass of NaOH is 40 g
