A solution is prepared by dissolving 20 g NaOH (FW = 400 g/mol) to 255 ml of solution. If the density of the solution is 1.15 gim, what is the mass percent NaOH in the solution? 0.68% 0.78% 0.90% 6.8% 78% nt Navigator

Answer:

6.82% is the mass percent NaOH in the solution.

Explanation:

Mass of the solute that is NaOH = m = 20 g

Mass of the solution = M

Volume of the solution = V = 255 mL

Density of the solution = d = 1.15 g/mL

[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

[tex]1.15 g/mL=\frac{M}{255 mL}[/tex]

M = 293.25 g

Mass percentage of solute :(w/w)%

[tex]\frac{m}{M}\times 100[/tex]

[tex](w/w)\%=\frac{20 g}{293.25 g}\times 100=6.82\%[/tex]

6.82% is the mass percent NaOH in the solution.
