Answer

400. mL of that solution contains 40.0 g of $KOH$.

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the conversion factors: - Since the $KOH$ solution is 10.0% (m/v): 10.0 g (Solute) = 100 mL (Solution) So: $\frac{10.0 \space g \space (Solute)}{100 \space mL \space (Solution)}$ and $\frac{100 \space mL \space (Solution)}{10.0 \space g \space (Solute)}$ 2. Calculate the volume of that solution that contains 40.0 g of $KOH$: $40.0 \space g \space (Solute) \times\frac{100 \space mL \space (Solution)}{10.0 \space g \space (Solute)} = 400. \space mL \space (Solution)$
