$"Normality"=0.125*mol*L^-1$ .

Here $"molarity"$ $-=$ $"normality"$ . Why? Because hydroxide anion does not speciate to any degree in aqueous solution.

And $"molarity"$ $-=$ $"moles of solute"/"volume of solution"$

$=((5*g)/(40.0*g*mol^-1))/(1*L)=(0.125*mol)/(1*L)=0.125*mol*L^-1$ with respect to $NaOH(aq)$ .

What is $pH$ of this solution? We know that $pH+pOH=14$ under standard conditions.
