What is the weight or volume of solute in 5.5% NaOH solution?
To determine the weight or volume of solute in a solution, we need to know the concentration and the total volume of the solution. In this case, we are given that the solution is 5.5% NaOH.
To find the weight of solute, we need to know the total weight of the solution. Let's assume we have 100 grams of the solution.
5.5% NaOH means that there is 5.5 grams of NaOH for every 100 grams of the solution. Therefore, the weight of the solute (NaOH) in a 100-gram solution would be 5.5 grams.
To find the volume of solute, we need to know the total volume of the solution. Let's assume we have 100 milliliters (ml) of the solution.
5.5% NaOH means that there is 5.5 ml of NaOH for every 100 ml of the solution. Therefore, the volume of the solute (NaOH) in a 100-ml solution would be 5.5 ml.
If you have a different total weight or volume of the solution, you can simply scale the weight or volume of the solute accordingly.
