    This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/ mole

    Molar mass of water =18 g / mole

    Mass of NaOH= 4 g

    Number of moles of 4 g NaOH = 4 g 40 g = 0.1 mol

    Number of moles of H2O= 36 g 18 g =2 mol

    Mole fraction of water

    26 g N u m b e r o f m o l e s o f N a O H + N u m b e r o f m o l e s o f H 2 O

    Mole fraction of NaOH = 2 g 0.1 + 2 g  = 2 g 2.1 g  = 0.95

    Number of moles of= 2 g 0.1 g  = 0.1 g 2.1 g = 0.047

    Number of moles of NaOH

    Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

    Mass of NaOH + Mass of water 4 g + 36 g = 40 g

    Specific gravity of solution =1 g / ml

    1 litre =1000 ml volume of solution = 40ml

    40ml = 0.04 litre

    Molarity = n u m b e r o f m o l e s o f s o l u t e V o l u m e i n l i t r e = 0.1 m o l 0.04 l i t r e = 2.5M
