Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the formula for molarity: \( M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{liters of solution}} \).
Rearrange the formula to solve for moles of solute: \( \text{moles of solute} = M \times \text{liters of solution} \).
Substitute the given values into the equation: \( \text{moles of NaOH} = 0.500 \, M \times 0.350 \, L \).
Calculate the moles of NaOH using the substituted values.
Convert moles of NaOH to grams using the molar mass of NaOH (approximately 40.00 g/mol): \( \text{grams of NaOH} = \text{moles of NaOH} \times 40.00 \, \text{g/mol} \).
