Answer: The mass of NaOH for given number of moles is 31.4 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

We are given:

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Moles of NaOH = 0.785 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:


0.785mol=\frac{\text{Mass of NaOH}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of NaOH}=(0.785mol* 40g/mol)=31.4g

Hence, the mass of NaOH for given number of moles is 31.4 grams.
