A 2.26 M solution of KOH is prepared. Calculate the moles and mass of solute present in a 15.2-mL sample of this solution. The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

0.0344 moles and 1.93g.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the ratio between moles of a solute (In this case, KOH), and the volume. With molarity and volume we can solve the moles of solute. With moles of solute we can find mass of the solute as follows:

Moles KOH:

15.2mL = 0.0152L * (2.26mol / L) = 0.0344moles

Mass KOH:

0.0344 moles * (56.11g/mol) = 1.93g of KOH

increased stability in the completion of fluorine's outer shell.
