Moles of NaOH
Given:
Mass of NaOH=5 g
And volume of solution =450 mL or 450×10−3L
Molar mass of NaOH=23+16+1=40 g mol−1
Moles of NaOH=mass of NaOHmolar mass of NaOH
Moles of NaOH=5g40 g mol−1=0.125 mol
Molarity of solution
We know,
Molarity =Mole of soluteVolume of solution (L)
So,
Molarity =0.125 mol450×10−8L
=0.278 mol L−1 or 0.278M
