Detailed Solution

Mass of solvent is calculated as:

Molality=Number of moles of solute (n)Mass of solvent (in kg) 3=nMass of solvent (in kg) Mass of solvent (in g)=1000×n3 g

Number of moles is determined by dividing mass and molar mass. Moles of solute (NaOH) is calculated as:

Moles=MassMolar mass Moles=m40 g/mol (Molar mass of NaOH)

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of solution (mass of solvent and mass of solute) with the volume of the solution.

Mass of solutionVolume=1.11 Mass of solute+Mass of solventVolume=1.11 n×40+1000×n3=1.11 n=2.97×10-3 mol

Molarity of NaOH is calculated as:

Molarity=2.97×10-3 mol0.001=2.97 M
