For solving such problems we need to know mole concept,

Here, Volume and Concentration is given so it's so easy to find number of moles. first we have to convert volume from ml to litre and and then multiply by the concentration of NaOH:

★ Volume of NaOH = 250ml = 250 × 10⁻³ = 0.25L

★ Concentration of NaOH = 0.15 mol/L

Now, let's find the number of moles:-

Number of moles = volume × concentration

Number of moles = 0.25*0.15

Number of moles = 0.0375 mol/L

Thereafter, we have to find molar weight of NaOH and for this we have to know atomic mass of these elements:-

Na = 22g

O = 16g

H = 2g

Substitute the value

Molar weight of NaOH = 22+16+2

= 40 g/mol

Mass of NaOH = no. of moles × molar weight

= 0.0375*40

= 1.5 g/mol

Hence, We need 1.5 g /mol to make NaOH.
