11. (2 pts) Sodium Hydroxide, is also known as lye and was a critical component in
homemade soap. Now it is a commonly used drain cleaner because it chemically reacts
with fats (the typical cause of a clog) to form a soap that can be swept down the drain.

Answer:

0.167M

Explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration in chemistry defined as the ratio between moles of solute (NaOH in this case) and volume of the solution in liters.

To find molarity of 5.00 g Sodium Hydroxide in 750.0 mL of solution we need to convert mass of NaOH to moles (Using its molar mass: 40g/mol) and the mililiters of solution to liters (1L = 1000mL), thus:

Moles NaOH = 5.00g × (1mol/ 40g) = 0.125 moles NaOH = Moles solute

Liters solution = 750.0mL × (1L / 1000mL) = 0.7500L solution

And molariy is:

0.125 moles NaOH  / 0.7500L solution =

0.167M
