a. add water, dissolve the solid sodium hydroxide. Caution, much heat is created, and can catch thing on fire.
b. Melt it. This probably is just a bit unsafe to do in an ordinary chem lab, the melting point is very high, and the NaOH can (and will) react with atmospheric gases..such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and it gets really unpredictable.
