Percent Solution Calculator

Find % w/v concentration of a solution.

Concentration (% w/v) 5

Formula: % w/v = solute (g) ÷ volume (mL) × 100

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Solute mass = 5
3. Solution volume = 100 mL
4.
5. Concentration = (5 / 100) x 100 = 0.05 x 100 = 5% w/v
Did we solve your problem today?

Percent w/v solution is grams of solute per 100 mL of solution.

The math behind it

% w/v = solute mass (g) ÷ solution volume (mL) × 100.

Worked example

5 g in 100 mL → 5% w/v.

FAQ

w/v vs w/w?

w/v is per volume; w/w is per total mass.
