chemistry - conc. of solutions

I have a question 'calculate the number of moles of colute in the following solutions:
a. 250cm^3 of 1.00mol dm^3 sodium hydroxide
my answer= 1.00x250 / 1000= 0.25 moles. I was wondering if that is all i have to do. Do i need to use the Mr of sodium hydroxide in any way? Or is it that i just need to find the moles.
For question 3 I need to find the mass so then would i do the 0.25 x Mr Sodium hydroxide?
Thanks xxx

Spot on :biggrin: Mr only comes into play when you're calculating no. of moles when MASS is involved.

Haha, try not to overcomplicate things.. i always do that!!
Just wait till you start doing chemistry coursework.. that really is overcomplicated.. for me anyway.. but easy for others :biggrin:

concentration= moles/ volume (dm^3)
Spot on, its pretty simple yet the question misleas you into complicating things. :smile:
