300 g of a 30% (w/w) NaOH solution is mixed with 500 g of a 40% (w/w) NaOH solution. If the density of the resulting solution is 2.0 g/mL, what is the % (w/v) concentration of NaOH in the final solution?

  1. 72.5
  2. 65
  3. 62.5
  4. 60

Correct answer: 72.5

Solution

Mass of NaOH from first solution: 0.30 * 300 = 90 g. Mass of NaOH from second solution: 0.40 * 500 = 200 g. Total NaOH = 290 g. Total mass of mixed solution = 300 + 500 = 800 g. Density of final solution = 2.0 g/mL => volume = 800/2.0 = 400 mL. % (w/v) = (mass of solute / volume of solution) * 100 = (290/400) * 100 = 72.5%.
