Answer

The molarity of this $KOH$ solution is equal to 0.0356 M

Work Step by Step

1. Determine the molar mass of this compound (KOH), and setup the conversion factors: Molar mass : $K: 39.10g $ $O: 16.00g $ $H: 1.008g$ 39.10g + 16.00g + 1.008g = 56.11g $ \frac{1 \space mole \space (KOH)}{ 56.11 \space g \space (KOH)}$ and $ \frac{ 56.11 \space g \space (KOH)}{1 \space mole \space (KOH)}$ 2. Calculate the number of moles $(KOH)$ $ 4.00 g \times \frac{1 mole}{ 56.11g} = 0.0713 \space moles$ 3. Find the concentration in mol/L $(KOH)$: $C(M) = \frac{n(moles)}{volume(L)}$ $ C(M) = \frac{ 0.0713 \space moles}{ 2.00 \space L} $ $C(M) = 0.0356 \space M$
