1. Calculate the moles of KOH
* Molar mass of KOH: 39.10 g/mol (K) + 16.00 g/mol (O) + 1.01 g/mol (H) = 56.11 g/mol
* Moles of KOH: (185 g KOH) / (56.11 g/mol) = 3.30 mol KOH
2. Calculate the volume of the solution
* Density of water: Assume the density of water is 1 g/mL.
* Volume of water: (1350 g H₂O) / (1 g/mL) = 1350 mL
* Total volume of solution: Since the volume of KOH is negligible compared to the water, we can approximate the total volume as 1350 mL.
3. Convert volume to liters
* Volume in liters: 1350 mL / 1000 mL/L = 1.35 L
4. Calculate molarity
* Molarity (M): (3.30 mol KOH) / (1.35 L) = 2.44 M
Therefore, the molarity of the KOH solution is approximately 2.44 M.
