    HELP: How to obtain a concentration of 20% NaOH ?

    Hi,

    Would someone kind enough to tell me how much NaOH to use in one liter of water to obtain the maximum concentration of 20% ?

    This is the electrolyte to be used in my dry-cell and a CCPWM. The goal is to use the lowest amperage.

    Thanks in advance

    The percentage is calculated by weight, so a 20% solution would be 200 grams of NaOH and 800 grams (cc) of distilled water, wouldn't it?

    Using a hydrometer it should be 1.2191 at 20º C.

    ONE Liter per minute per 10 amps which just isn't possible Ha Ha .
