Answer:
1) 0.0625 g.
2) 0.0125 g.
Explanation:
<em>1) 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?</em>
mass% of NaOH = [(mass of NaOH)/(mass of solution)] x 100.
mass% of NaOH = 25.0%, mass of NaOH = ??? g, mass of solution = 0.250 g.
∴ mass of NaOH = (mass% of NaOH)(mass of solution)/100 = (25.0%)(0.250 g)/100 = 0.0625 g.
<em>2) What mass of NaOH must be added to the solution to increase the concentration to 30.00% by mass?</em>
We can use the relation:
mass% of NaOH = [(mass of NaOH)/(mass of solution)] x 100.
mass% of NaOH = 30.0%, mass of NaOH = ??? g, mass of solution = 0.250 g.
∴ mass of NaOH = (mass% of NaOH)(mass of solution)/100 = (30.0%)(0.250 g)/100 = 0.075 g.
∴ The mass of NaOH should be added = 0.075 - 0.0625 = 0.0125 g.
