5.0xx10^-3*mol with respect to NaOH....

Explanation:

By definition..."concentration"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"

And thus "moles of solute"="concentration"xx"volume of solution"

And....

0.20*mol*L^-1xx25*cm^3xx10^-3*L*cm^-3=5.0xx10^-3*mol

What is pH of this solution?

"0.005 moles"

Explanation:

Base equation

"concentration" = "moles"/("volume" ("in dm"^3)

Here

  • concentration = \ "0.2 M"
  • volume = "25 cm"^3 = (25/1000) = "0.025 dm"^3
  • moles =x

Therefore

0.2= x/0.025

Multiply by 0.025 on both sides to leave x by itself

- 0.2xx0.025=x

x = "0.005 moles" = 5xx 10^(-3) \ "moles"
