Percent weight by volume or %w/v, is concentration expressed as the mass of solute (in grams)

divided by the volume of solution (in mL). It is expressed as

mass of solute ∈grams

%w /v= x 100 %
Volume of solution∈mL

Therefore, the volume of solution is:

mass of solute ∈grams

Volume of solution∈mL= x 100 %
%w /v

Given:
Mass of solute = 2.25 grams per tablet
%w/v = 0.9%

112.5 g
Volume of solution∈mL= x 100 %=12,500 mL
0.9 % g/mL

Since there are 50 tablets, then the total volume that can be prepared is:

mL
Volume=250 x 50 tablets=12,500 mL

In Question No. 1, we are given the molarity and volume of solution at 0.05 M and 200 mL (or 0.2 L),
respectively. The mass of the solute can be computed given these values.

Since Molarity = moles of solute/Volume of solution in Liters, then the number of moles of solute =
Molarity x Volume of solution in Liters.

Moles of solute=Molarity x Volume , L=0.05 mol / L x 0.2 L=0.01 moles

The mass of the solute, which is solid NaOH can be computed by multiplying the number of moles to
the molar mass of NaOH which is 40 g/mol. So the weight of solute is:

g
Mass of solute=Moles of Solute x Molar Mass=0.01 mol x 40 =0.4 grams

To express the concentration in %w/v, remember that %w/v is computed using below equation:
mass of solute ∈grams
%w /v=
Volume of solution∈milliliters
Hence,
0.4 grams
%w /v= x 100 %=0.2 % w /v
