1. Find the molar mass of NaOH:
* Sodium (Na): 22.99 g/mol
* Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol
* Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol
Molar mass of NaOH = 22.99 + 16.00 + 1.01 = 40.00 g/mol
2. Use the formula:
* moles = mass / molar mass
3. Plug in the values:
* moles = 4.75 g / 40.00 g/mol
4. Calculate:
* moles = 0.11875 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 0.119 moles of sodium hydroxide in 4.75 grams.
