What will be mass percentage of aqueous solution of NaOH in which mole fraction of NaOH is 0.2?

  1. A \(64.86 \% W / W\)
  2. B \(35.71 \% W / W\)
  3. C \(23.38 \% W / W\)
  4. D \(27.78 \% W / W\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(35.71 \% W / W\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M_{NaOH} = 40 \text{ g/mol}, M_{H_2O} = 18 \text{ g/mol}\) \(m_{NaOH} = 0.2 \text{ mol} \times 40 \text{ g/mol} = 8 \text{ g}\)
