Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.02

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molarity \(=\frac{w_B \mathrm{gL}^{-1}}{M_B \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=\frac{\frac{0.4}{500} \times 100}{40}=0.02 \mathrm{M}\) \(\left[\therefore w_B=\right.\) mass of solute \((\mathrm{NaOH})=0.4 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}\) \(M_B=\) molar mass of…
