Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pellet form of NaOH is highly hygroscopic . It absorbs moisture from air and its weight is increased by the time one tries to weigh one gram of it . Moreover it also reacts with carbon dioxide gas of atmosphere to form sodium carbonate .

2 NaOH + CO₂ = Na₂CO₃ + H₂0.

It also increases its weight .
