Answer

The molarity of that $NaOH$ solution is equal to $2.14$ $M$ $NaOH$.

Work Step by Step

1. 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)}$ 2. Calculate the number of moles $(NaOH)$ $ 30.0 \space g \times \frac{1 \space mole}{ 40.00 \space g} = 0.750 \space moles$ 3. Convert the volume to liters: $350 \space mL \times \frac{1 \space L}{1000 \space mL} = 0.350 \space L$ 3. Find the concentration in mol/L (Molarity) $(NaOH)$: $C(M) = \frac{n(moles)}{volume(L)}$ $ C(M) = \frac{ 0.750 \space moles}{ 0.350 \space L} $ $C(M) = 2.14 \space M$
