Question
A 10% (w/v) NaOH solution means:
- A10 g NaOH per 100 mL solutionCorrect
- B10 g NaOH per 100 g solution
- C10 mol NaOH per litre
- D10 mL NaOH per 100 mL solvent
Correct answer
10 g NaOH per 100 mL solution
Explanation
%(w/v) = (mass of solute in g / volume of solution in mL) × 100. So 10% (w/v) = 10 g per 100 mL.
