Question

May I please have a step by step answer on how to solve this. I'm really trying to understand what's going on here.

Thanks!

One of the tasks for your group is to prepare a solution of NaOH to be used later in the lab. Each group will be responsible for preparing 250 mL of a 0.1 M solution. The stock solution is 50.5% N OH weight by water. That means for every 100 g of solution, 50.5 g of it is Na he density o this 50.5%, Na solutions·4 How many mL of the stock solution do I need to dilute to 250 mL with DI water to get a 0.1 M solution? mL

Explanation / Answer

molarity of stock solution first we need to find

molar mass of NaOH = 40 g / mol

mass % is given = 50.5 %

density = 1.54 g/mL

molarity = mass % x 10 x density / molar mass ----------------> formula

              = 50.5 x 10 x 1.54 / 40

             = 19.44 M

C1 = 19.44 M

V1 = ?

C2 = 0.1 M

V2 = 250 mL

dilution formula :

C1 V1 = C2 V2

19.44 x V1 = 0.1 x 250

V1 = 1.29 mL

volume of stock solution needed = 1.29 mL
