A solution of NaOH has a concentration of 25.00% by mass. What mass of NaOH is present in 0.250 g of this solution? Use the periodic table in the toolbar if needed.

Verified Answer :

The concentration of NaOH is 25.00% by mass, it means that 25.00% of the mass of the solution is of NaOH. Hence:

\(m_{NaOH}=25.00\%\times m_{solution}\Longrightarrow m_{NaOH}=\dfrac{25}{100}\times 0.250~g\iff\\\\\boxed{m_{NaOH}=0.0625~g}\)

Answer : The mass of NaOH present in the solution is, 0.0625 grams

Explanation : Given,

Mass % = 25 %

Mass of solution = 0.250 g

Formula used :

\(Mass\%=\frac{\text{Mass of}NaOH}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100\)

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of NaOH.

\(25=\frac{\text{Mass of}NaOH}{0.250g}\times 100\)

\(\text{Mass of}NaOH=0.0625g\)

Therefore, the mass of NaOH present in the solution is, 0.0625 grams
