Answer:
200 g NaOH
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
Step 1: Define
5.0 mol NaOH
Step 2: Define conversions
Molar Mass of Na - 22.99 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of NaOH - 22.99 + 16.00 + 1.01 = 40 g/mol
Step 3: Convert using DA
[tex]5.0 \ mol \ NaOH(\frac{40 \ g \ NaOH}{1 \ mol \ NaOH} )[/tex] = 200 g NaOH
Step 4: Check
We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.
We only have 1 sig fig in 200. No need to round.
