8. The mass of NaOH required to prepare 250~cm^{3} of 0.1M NaOH is (A) 10g (B) 4g (C) 40g (D) 1g

Answer 1

7. To prepare 500 cm^3 of 0.15 mol/dm³ sulphuric acid:
We can use the formula:
C1V1 = C2V2

C1 = concentration of stock solution = 2.0 mol/dm^3
V1 = volume of stock solution required
C2 = desired concentration = 0.15 mol/dm^3
V2 = desired volume = 500 cm^3

Plugging in the values:
2.0V1 = 0.15 * 500

V1 = (0.15 * 500) / 2.0
V1 = 7.5 cm^3

So, the volume of stock solution required is approximately 7.5 cm^3.

Therefore, the correct option is (B) 7.5 cm^3.

8. To calculate the mass of NaOH required to prepare 250 cm^3 of 0.1M NaOH:
We can use the formula:
Molarity (M) = moles/volume (dm^3)

Moles = Molarity * Volume (dm^3)

Molarity = 0.1M
Volume = 250 cm^3

Converting cm^3 to dm^3:
Volume = 250/1000 = 0.25 dm^3

Moles = 0.1 * 0.25 = 0.025 moles

To calculate the mass, we need to know the molar mass of NaOH:
Na (sodium) = 22.99 g/mol
O (oxygen) = 16.00 g/mol
H (hydrogen) = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.99 + 16.00 + 1.01 = 40.00 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass
Mass = 0.025 * 40.00 = 1.00 g

Therefore, the correct option is (D) 1g.
