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.


We are not interested in the volume of that 1 gram of
NaOH. We are only interested in the NaOH being 10%
of the solutions volume expressed in grams.

But it isn't 10% of the solution's *volume* unless the solute
has the same density as water. Do the math.
