Chapter 1, Problem 1.14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of grams of $\text{50 wt\%}$ $\text{NaOH}$ solution that has to be diluted to $\text{1}\text{.00 L}$ to make $\text{0}\text{.10 M}$$\text{NaOH}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity, is one of the parameters used to express concentration of a solution.  It is defined as the number of moles of the solute dissolved per liter of the solution.  It is expressed as,

  $\text{Molarity = }\frac{number\text{ of }molesof\text{ solute}}{volume\text{ of solution in L}}$

Weight percent is one of parameters used to express concentration of a solute and it is defined as percentage of weight of the solute present with respect to weight of the solution.  It is expressed as,

    $\text{Weight percent of a solute = }\frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{weight of solution}}\times \text{ 100\%}$
