2.46 g of sodium hydroxide (molar mass = 40) are dissolved in water and the solution is made to `100 cm^(3)` in a volumetric flask. Calculate the molarity of the solution.

Explanation

To calculate the molarity of the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide.
The formula to calculate the number of moles is:
\[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Weight of solute (g)}}{\text{Molar mass (g/mol)}} \]
Given:
...
