% W/V (Weight/Volume) Calculator
% W/V Calculator
Calculate weight/volume concentration, required solute mass, or final solution volume quickly and accurately.
% W/V
Grams of solute per 100 mL of solution.
g
Mass of the dissolved substance.
mL
Final volume of the prepared solution.
Select the unit used for solution volume.
Common % W/V Examples
Calculated Concentration
5.00 % W/V
5 g of solute in 100 mL of final solution
% W/V Concentration Visualization
% W/V = (Mass of solute ÷ Volume of solution) × 100
Mass is expressed in grams and final solution volume in milliliters.
What is % W/V?
Weight/volume percentage represents the number of grams
of solute present in every 100 mL of solution.
Example
A 5% W/V solution contains 5 g of solute
in a final volume of 100 mL.
Important
Use the final solution volume, not simply the volume
of solvent initially added.
