Answer

$8\;g$.

Work Step by Step

The given values are Base $B=400\;mL$. Rate $R=(1:50)100=2$. Let the pure sodium bicarbonate is $P=x$. The formula is $\Rightarrow \frac{P}{B}=\frac{R}{100}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{400\;mL}=\frac{2}{100}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow 100x=800\;mL$ Divide both sides by $100$. $\Rightarrow x=8\;mL$. Convert $mL$ to $g$. $\Rightarrow x=8\;mL\times \frac{1g}{1mL}$. Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=8\;g$.
