What is the molarity of a 2.0 l sodium hydroxide solution containing 10.0 grams of solute?

0.125 M

Explanation:

Molarity or concentration is given by;

= Moles/volume in litres

But; moles = mass/Relative formula mass

                  = 10.0/40.0

                  = 0.25 Moles

Molarity = 0.25 moles/2.0 L

              = 0.125 M

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
