Royce Chen · Answer 1

We first calculate for the number of moles of NaOH by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of NaOH which is equal to 40 g/mol. Solving,

moles of NaOH = (68.4 g / 40 g/mol) = 1.71 moles NaOH

Then, we divide the calculate number of moles by the volume in liters.

molarity = (1.71 moles NaOH / 0.875 L solution)

molarity = 1.95 M
