#"Molarity"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"# by definition....

Explanation:

And so we got the quotient...

#[NaOH(aq)]=(3.14*mol)/(4.0*L)#...i.e. a bit over #0.75*mol*L^-1#...and note that the quotient gave us dimensions consistent for a concentration, i.e. #mol*L^-1#...as is appropriate...
