Provide the steps in preparing 250.0 mL of a 1.5% (m/v) NaOH solution.

Weigh 2.50 g of NaOH, dissolve in 500.0 mL of water, and evaporate the solution until the volume is 250.0 mL.

Weigh 3.75 g of NaOH, dissolve in a small amount of water, and dilute to 250.0 mL.

Weigh 3.00 g of NaOH, dissolve in 1.0 L of water, and get a 250.0 mL aliquot.

Weigh 1.50 g of NaOH, dissolve in a small amount of water, and dilute to 250.0 mL.
