    The answers are 8.0 moles and 320 grams.

    Solution:

    Since we are given the concentration of the solution expressed in molarity and the volume of solution, we can use the equation for molarity defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution in liters:

    molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters

    We rearrange the expression to solve for the number of moles of the solute:

    moles of solute = molarity * volume of solution in liters

    Substituting the given values, we have

    moles of NaOH = (2.0 mol / 1L) * 4L = 8.0 mol

    To calculate for the mass of NaOH solute, we will use the molar mass of NaOH that is equal to 40.0 g/mol:

    mass of NaOH = 8.0 mol * (40.0g / 1mol) = 320 grams
