The mass of \(\text{NaOH}\) required to make a 500 mL solution of 0.5 molarity is

  1. A 15 g
  2. B 20 g
  3. C 40 g
  4. D 10 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moles \( = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (L)}\) \( = 0.5 \text{ mol/L} \times 0.5 \text{ L} = 0.25 \text{ mol}\) Mass \( = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar Mass (NaOH)}\) \( = 0.25 \text{ mol} \times 40 \text{ g/mol} = 10 \text{ g}\)
