Answer:

(A) 0.4M NaOH

Step-by-step explanation:

The 20M NaOH caustic soda is diluted from 10mL to 500mL, that is:

500mL / 10mL = Is diluted 50 times.

That means we can solve the new concentration of the diluted solution dividing the stock concentration (20M) 50 times:

20M / 50 = 0.4M NaOH is the concentration of the diluted NaOH solution.

Right answer is:

(A) 0.4M NaOH
