Answer:

I am going to solve the question you have given without the use of the chemical equation.

The chemical formula of sodium chloride is NaOH

Molar mass: 40.0 g/mol

Molar mass of sodium: 23 g/mol

The mass of NaOH we have is 400kg which would be 400000g

Recall n = m/M (where n is the number of moles, m is the given mass, M is the molar mass):
