Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
A molar solution implies concentration in terms of moles/liter. The respective atomic weights for NaOH are: Na - 23,0 - 16 and H - 1, so the molecular weight, is 23 + 16 + I = 40. Thus 40 grams of NaOH equals one mole of NaOH, and a 1 molar solution of NaOH will contain 40 grams of NaOH chemical in 1000grams of water.
