Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is a strong base that is sometimes used as a cleaning agent since it can be used to dissolve proteins, grease, oils, and fats. Rank the following in increasing order of their molarity. Rank from lowest to highest.

a. 6.625 g NaOH dissolved in 250. mL of water
b. 63.0 g of NaOH dissolved in 1.00 L of water
c. 8.00 g of NaOH dissolved in 500. mL of water

Answer:

Rank from lowest to highest - c<a<d<b

Explanation:

Molarity is basically the moles of the solute dissolved in a solvent. Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

a) 6.625 g NaOH dissolved in 250. mL of water

Molarity = 6.625 grams */( 0.250 *39.997) g/mol = 0.66

b) 63.0 g of NaOH dissolved in 1.00 L of water

Molarity = 63 grams */( 1 *39.997) g/mol = 1.575

c) 8.00 g of NaOH dissolved in 500. mL of water

Molarity = 8 grams */( 0.5 *39.997) g/mol = 0.331

d) 0.0530 of NaOH in 100 mL of water = 0.53

Rank from lowest to highest - c<a<d<b
