how can i produce a concentrated solution of NaOH?

 

also how do you work out the molarity of a solution?

thankyou

[budullewraagh]

pick a temperature, start adding NaOH to water and stop when it starts precipitating. of course, you can just look up solubility properties

Basically as budullewraagh stated... You can be sophisticated if you'd like.

I suggest distilled water. lol

[dan19_83]

Molarity is measured in moles per litre.

Basically if you want to find the molarity of your NaOH solution, divide the amount of NaOH added (in grams) by the molecular weight of NaOH (40g/mol). Then divide this answers by the volume of water (in litres) to get your molarity.

Why is it that stoichiometry still haunts me :|

if you are going to be a chemist, stoich will haunt you until it consumes you

Actually at first stoichiometry annoyed me..

But now after taking AP Chemistry last year...

It's a breeze..

I love Chemistry so much that 'stupid stoichiometry' is worth it.

Next year I'll officially be a Chem Major

great. where are you going to school?
