What volume of 50% NaOH (by weight) solution is necessary to prepare 1 litre of 0.1M NaOH? Assume that the density of the NaOH solution is 1.53g/ml.

SUMMARY
To prepare 1 liter of a 0.1M NaOH solution using a 50% NaOH solution, one must calculate the required volume based on the solution's density of 1.53 g/ml. The molarity (M) is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution, and for NaOH, the molar mass is 40 g/mol. Therefore, 0.1M NaOH requires 4 grams of NaOH, which corresponds to approximately 5.2 ml of the 50% solution.
