Aiman in laboratory dissolve 4g of NaOH in 250ml of water. The molarity of this solution is:
Correct answer: A. 0.4M
- A. 0.4M
- B. 4M
- C. 0.2M
- D. 0.1M
Explanation
M = 4/40 / 250/1000 = 0.4,where 4g is the amount of NaOH, 40 is the grams per mole of NaOH, 250mL is the amount of water and 1000 is the number of ml in a liter.The most common way to express solution concentration is molarity (M), which is defined as the amount of solute in moles divided by the volume of solution in liters: M = moles of solute/liters of solution.

About Concentration Units
Concentration units express the amount of solute in a given amount of solution or solvent. Calculations cover molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction, mass percentage, volume percentage, parts per million and dilution, including the effect of temperature on volume-based units and the distinction between molarity and molality.
