Answer #1

Solid NaOH is hygroscopic in nature due to which it can absorb moisture from the surrounding, thereby its mass will increase , hence while taking measurement of its mass for preparing the solution, actual amount taken will be less as some water is also present,

Therefore, actual molarity will be less than expected.

Other factors is dilution, which means increasing the amount of solvent in the solution which cause decrease in the molarity of the solution.

If you increase the amount of NaOH then molarity will increase.
