40*mL40mL of 5.0*mol*L^-15.0molL1 sodium hydoxide are required.

Explanation:

The "concentration"xx"volume"concentration×volume gives answer in amount of substance.

Thus C_1V_1=C_2V_2C1V1=C2V2, where C_1, V_1C1,V1 are the initial concentrations, volume etc.

We need to find V_1V1 == ([C_1][V_2])/([C_2])[C1][V2][C2]

=(2.0*mol*L^-1xx0.100*L)/(5.0*mol*L^-1)=2.0molL1×0.100L5.0molL1 == ??*L=??*mL??L=??mL
