Answer:

0.4M NaOH

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration widely used defined as the ratio between moles of solute (In this case, NaOH) and volume of solution in liters.

As the solution contains 2 moles of NaOH-Moles of solute- in 5L of solution, the molarity is:

2 moles NaOH / 5L =

0.4M NaOH
