The answer is dissolved in water, because in chemistry, (aq) is shorthand for aqueous solution.
The molarity of the solution will be 3.45 M
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Dilution is the process of adding a solvent to get a more dilute solution.
The moles(n) before and after dilution are the same.
Can be formulated :
M₁V₁=M₂V₂
M₁ = Molarity of the solution before dilution
V₁ = volume of the solution before dilution
M₂ = Molarity of the solution after dilution
V₂ = Molarity volume of the solution after dilution
The initial solution
345 mL of a 2.5 M NaCl solution.
M₁=2.5 M
V₁=345 ml
The solution after boiled :
V₂=250 ml

Answer:
Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH
2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H
2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.
As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]
Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]
