The molecular weight of sodium is$\text{ 23 g / mol}$ , of oxygen is $\text{ 16 g / mol}$and for hydrogen is equal to$\text{ 1 g / mol}$. In sodium hydroxide, there is one hydroxide ion. Thus the no of equivalent moles is 1. Thus, the equivalent weight of sodium hydroxide $\text{ NaOH }$ is\[\text{40 g/mol}\].
