I think you're mixing up two different conventions.

A 10ml solution of 10% NaOH will have 1 gram
of the solute; 10% of the solutions volume. As I said
the solute's amount is usually in grams. Dan


What's the volume of 1 gram of NaOH? Do you think
it is 1 ml? I don't think it is. You're mixing weight
and volume interchangeably here, which you can do with
water but not the solute.
