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 = = 0.1 mol
Number of moles of H2O= =2 mol
Mole fraction of water
Mole fraction of NaOH = = = 0.95
Number of moles of= = = 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 = = = 2.5M
