    First, we must know that in order to remove one mole of cadmium ions, we will require two moles of sodium ions. This is visible from the fact that the valence charge of cadmium ions is + 2, while for sodium ions it is + 1.

    Next, we use the equation:

    Moles = Molarity * Liters

    We know that:

    moles of sodium = 2 * moles of cadmium

    Now, the moles of cadmium present are:

    Moles = 0.499 * 0.0327 = 0.0163

    The moles of NaOH required are double this, so:

    Moles NaOH = 2 * 0.0163 = 0.0326

    Mass = moles * molecular weight

    Mass = 0.0326 * 40

    Mass = 1.304 grams of NaOH
