Answer

There are necessary 480. g of $NaOH$ to prepare that solution

Work Step by Step

1. Since the molarity of that solution is equal to $ 6.00 \space M \space NaOH$: $1 \space L \space solution = 6.00 \space moles \space NaOH$ $\frac{1 \space L \space solution}{ 6.00 \space moles \space NaOH} $ and $\frac{ 6.00 \space moles \space NaOH}{1 \space L \space solution}$ 2. Determine the molar mass of this compound (NaOH), and setup the conversion factors: Molar mass : $Na: 22.99g $ $O: 16.00g $ $H: 1.008g$ 22.99g + 16.00g + 1.008g = 40.00g $ \frac{1 \space mole \space (NaOH)}{ 40.00 \space g \space (NaOH)}$ and $ \frac{ 40.00 \space g \space (NaOH)}{1 \space mole \space (NaOH)}$ 3. Use the conversion factors to calculate the mass of solute in $ 2.00$ L of that solution: $ 2.00 \space L \space solution \times \frac{ 6.00 \space moles \space NaOH}{1 \space L \space solution} \times \frac{ 40.00 \space g \space NaOH}{1 \space mole \space NaOH} = 480. \space g \space NaOH$
