"0.00504 mol"0.00504 mol.

Explanation:

"0.190 M"0.190 M NaOHNaOH means that, for every 11 liter of NaOHNaOH, there will be 0.1900.190 moles:

"0.190 mol"/"1L"0.190 mol1L

So, using this ratio, we can find how many moles of NaOHNaOH there are in "26.5 mL"26.5 mL, or "0.0265 L"0.0265 L:

"0.190 mol"/"1L" = "0.190 × 0.0265 mol"/"0.0265 L" = "0.00504 mol"/"0.0265 L"0.190 mol1L=0.190 × 0.0265 mol0.0265 L=0.00504 mol0.0265 L

0.00504

Explanation:

Concentration = moles of solute / volume of solution.

sf(c=n/v)

:.sf(n=cxxv)

:.sf(n_(NaOH)=0.0190xx26.5/1000=0.00504)

2 points to note:

  1. I have converted ml to litre by dividing by 1000.

  2. I have rounded to 3 sig. figs since the volume is given to this significance.
