Calculate the amount of NaOH in g/L in a one L solution of it with the pH of 12. (Molar mass of NaOH =40 g/mol)
Options
- A0.4 g/L
- B2 g/L
- C4 g/L
- D0.2 g/L
Correct answer
A. 0.4 g/L
Step-by-step solution
Given pH = 12 pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 12 = 2 [ OH ⁻] = 10^ - pOH = 10⁻² M = 0.01 M Since NaOH is a strong base, it dissociates completely. [ NaOH ] = [ OH ⁻] = 0.01 M Amount of NaOH in g/L = Molarity Molar mass Amount = 0.01 mol/L 40 g/mol = 0.4 g/L Answer: 0.4 g/L
