4.0 g of sodium hydroxide in 250 cm3 of solution contains?

A.

0.40 moles per dm3

B.

0.10 moles per dm3

C.

0.04 moles per dm3

D.

0.02 moles per dm3

Correct answer is A

Unit of concentration = (moles)/(dm3)
If 250 cm3 solution NaOH contains 4.0 g NaOH
i.e -1cm3 solution NaOH (4.0)/(250) g
∴ 1000 cm3 (1 dm3) will contain (40 x 1000) / (250 x 1) = 16 g/dm3
16 g/dm3 = 16g/dm3 + molar mass NaOH
because no of moles = (mass of substance given) / (molar mass)
∴ (16 g) / (40 g) dm3 = (16 g)/(dm3 x (1 mole)/ (40g) = 0.4 (moles)/(dm3)
