    Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in volume of 1 L solution.

    the molarity of KOH solution to be prepared is 0.500 M

    the volume of solution to be prepared is 250 mL

    the number of KOH moles in 1 L - 0.500 mol

    therefore number of KOH moles in 250 mL - 0.500 mol/L x 0.250 L = 0.125 mol

    Mass of KOH in 0.125 mol - 0.125 mol x 56.10 g/mol = 7.01 g

    The mass of KOH required to make the solution is therefore 7.01 g
