How do you make a 2 percent NaOH soluiton from 50 percent NaOH solution?

First you must either know how much 50% NaOH you want to start with or know how much 2% NaOH you need at the end. Let's say you want 1L of the 2% NaOH. Use this equation, and solve for x, where in this case, x is the volume of 50% NaOH needed. (50% NaOH)x = (2%) * 1000 ml 0.5x = 0.02(1000) x = 20/0.5 = 40 Therefore, 40 ml of 50% NaOH in 960 ml water will produce 2% NaOH. Use a 1000 ml volumetric flask to be most precise.
