What is the molar mass of NaOH? (H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Na = 23, Mg = 24, Al = 27, S = 32, Cl = 35.5, K = 39, Ca = 40, Mn = 55, Fe = 56)

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 40 g/mol

  1. Step 1: Add the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula. Step 2. NaOH: 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol. Answer: 40 g/mol. Why not the others: 18 g/mol is what you get if you use the molar mass of H₂O. 16 g/mol is what you get if you use the molar mass of CH₄. 111 g/mol is what you get if you use the molar mass of CaCl₂.
