The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Chemistry - Molarity. [ M=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume in litre}} ]
Step 1: Convert volume into litre. [ 250\text{ mL}=0.250\text{ L} ]
Step 2: Find moles required. [ \text{Moles}=M \times V=0.4 \times 0.250=0.1 ]
Step 3: Find mass of sodium acetate. [ \text{Mass}=\text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} ] [ =0.1 \times 82=8.2\text{ g} ]
Step 4: Final answer. [ \boxed{8.2\text{ g}} ]
Hence, correct option is (B).
