How many grams of solid ca(oh)2 (74.1 g/mol) are required to make 500 ml of a 3 m solution?

111.15 g are required to prepare 500 ml of a 3 M solution

Explanation:

In a 3 M solution of Ca(OH)₂ there are 3 moles of Ca(OH)₂ per liter solution. In 500 ml of this solution, there will be (3 mol/2) 1.5 mol Ca(OH)₂.

Since 1 mol of Ca(OH)₂ has a mass of 74.1 g, 1.5 mol will have a mass of

(1.5 mol Ca(OH)₂ *(74.1 g / 1 mol)) 111.15 g. This mass of Ca(OH)₂ is required to prepare the 500 ml 3 M solution.
