Answer

There are necessary 120. g of $NaOH$ to prepare that solution.

Work Step by Step

1. Since the molarity of that solution is equal to $1.50 \space M \space NaOH$: $1 \space L = 1.50 \space moles \space NaOH$ $\frac{1 \space L}{ 1.50 \space moles \space NaOH} $ and $\frac{ 1.50 \space moles \space NaOH}{1 \space L}$ 2. Calculate the molar mass of $NaOH$: $Na: 22.99g $ $O: 16.00g $ $H: 1.008g$ 22.99 g + 16.00 g + 1.008 g = 40.00 g $ \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 in 2.00 L of that solution: $2.00 \space L \times \frac{ 1.50 \space moles \space NaOH}{1 \space L} \times \frac{ 40.00 \space g \space (NaOH)}{1 \space mole \space (NaOH)} = 120. \space g \space NaOH$
