Answer: There are 0.25 moles of NaOH in a sample that weighed 10g.
Explanation:
Given: Mass of NaOH = 10 g
Molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol.
Number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.
Therefore, moles of NaOH are calculated as follows.
[tex]No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molarmass}\\= \frac{10g}{40 g/mol}\\= 0.25 mol[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that there are 0.25 moles of NaOH in a sample that weighed 10g.
