Solution
The correct option is C1M The molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol. The number of moles of NaOH is equal to the ratio of its mass to molar mass. The number of moles of NaOH =40g40g/mol=1mol The molarity of NaOH solution is the ratio of number of moles of NaOH to total volume of solution in L. M=1mol1L=1M
