Determine the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 5.0 g of NaOH in 450 mL of solution.

1. Determine the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 5.0 g of NaOH in 450 mL of solution. 1. 450 mL विलयन में 5.0 g NaOH घोलकर बनाए गए विलयन की मोलरता ज्ञात कीजिए। +
Given Data
Mass of NaOH = 5.0 g
Volume of solution = 450 mL
Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g mol−1
Formula
M = n / V
Where:

M = Molarity
n = Number of moles of solute
V = Volume of solution in litres
Step 1: Calculate Moles of NaOH
Number of moles:

n = Mass / Molar Mass

n = 5.0 / 40

n = 0.125 mol
Step 2: Convert Volume into Litres
Given volume = 450 mL

Since:
1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore:

V = 450 / 1000

V = 0.450 L
Step 3: Calculate Molarity
Using:

M = n / V

M = 0.125 / 0.450

M = 0.2778 mol L−1
Final Answer
The molarity of the NaOH solution is approximately 0.278 M.
Quick Method
M = (Mass × 1000) / (Molar Mass × Volume in mL)
Substituting:

M = (5.0 × 1000) / (40 × 450)

M = 0.278 M
Concept
Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution. Therefore, the volume must always be converted from mL to L before using the formula M = n/V.
दिया गया है
NaOH का द्रव्यमान = 5.0 g
विलयन का आयतन = 450 mL
NaOH का मोलर द्रव्यमान = 40 g mol−1
सूत्र
M = n / V
जहाँ:

M = मोलरता
n = विलेय के मोलों की संख्या
V = विलयन का आयतन लीटर में
चरण 1: NaOH के मोल ज्ञात कीजिए
मोलों की संख्या:

n = द्रव्यमान / मोलर द्रव्यमान

n = 5.0 / 40

n = 0.125 mol
चरण 2: आयतन को लीटर में बदलें
दिया गया आयतन = 450 mL

हम जानते हैं:
1000 mL = 1 L

इसलिए:

V = 450 / 1000

V = 0.450 L
चरण 3: मोलरता ज्ञात कीजिए
सूत्र:

M = n / V

M = 0.125 / 0.450

M = 0.2778 mol L−1
अंतिम उत्तर
NaOH विलयन की मोलरता लगभग 0.278 M है।
सीधी विधि
M = (द्रव्यमान × 1000) / (मोलर द्रव्यमान × आयतन mL में)
मान रखने पर:

M = (5.0 × 1000) / (40 × 450)

M = 0.278 M
Concept
मोलरता वह संख्या है जो बताती है कि एक लीटर विलयन में विलेय के कितने मोल उपस्थित हैं। इसलिए M = n/V सूत्र में आयतन को लीटर में लेना आवश्यक है।
