Approx. 25*g.................

Explanation:

First we calculate the molar quantity present in the given volume of NaOH........

"Molarity"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"...........

And thus "Moles of solute"="Volume"xx"molarity".....

250*xx10^-3*cancelLxx2.5*mol*cancel(L^-1)=0.625*mol, with respect to NaOH...............

which molar quantity corresponds to a MASS of..........

0.625*molxx40.0*g*mol^-1=??*g

You must simply KNOW that 1*mL-=1xx10^-3*L, i.e. the "milli" prefix -=10^-3.
