Answer: The number of moles of NaOH is 0.0036 moles
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{ \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}[/tex] .....(1)
Given values:
Molarity of NaOH = [tex]0.1mol/dm^3=0.1mol/L[/tex] (Conversion factor: [tex]1L=1dm^3[/tex]
Volume of the solution = [tex]36cm^3=36 mL[/tex] (Conversion factor: [tex]1mL=1cm^3[/tex]
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]0.1=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}\times 1000}{36}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{0.1\times 36}{1000}=0.0036mol[/tex]
Hence, the number of moles of NaOH is 0.0036 moles
