$33$ grams.

Given:

$"volume = 100 mL = 0.100 L"$

$"concentration = 2.5 mol/L"$

The volume and concentration of a substance are related to the number of moles by the equation

$n = cV$

where $n$ is the number of moles, $c$ is the concentration, and $V$ is the volume of the substance.

The number of moles of a substance is related to its mass by the equation

$m = nM$

where $m$ is the mass, $n$ is the number of moles, and $M$ is the molar mass of the substance.

Find the number of moles of solution using the first equation:

$n = cV$

$n = (2.5 "mol"/"L")("0.100 L")$

$n = "0.25 mol"$

Find the mass using the second equation:

$m = nM$

$m = ("0.25 mol")(132.14 "g"/"mol")$

$m = "33 g"$
