50% (w/w) sodium hydroxide solution means that there is 50 g of NaOH per 100 g of solution. The density of 50% (w/w) Sodium hydroxide solution is 1.515 g/ml at 25°C which means that the weight of the 1 ml of Sodium hydroxide solution is 1.515 g at
What are some uses of sodium hydroxide? Sodium hydroxide is used in bar soaps and detergents. Sodium Hydroxide is also used as a drain cleaner to unclog pipes. Around 56% of sodium hydroxide produced is used by industry, with 25% of NaOH used in the paper industry.
