a pint of lotion contains 57 g of talc..What is the w/v percent strength of talc in the lotion.
See your 11:25am post.
To calculate the w/v (weight/volume) percent strength of talc in the lotion, you need to determine the weight of talc and the volume of lotion.
Given:
Weight of talc = 57 g
However, we don't have the volume of the lotion, so we cannot calculate the exact w/v percent strength without that information.
If you have the volume of the lotion, let's say it is V mL, we can proceed with the calculation.
Formula for w/v percent strength:
w/v % = (Weight of solute / Volume of solution) * 100
In this case, the solute is talc and the solution is lotion.
Using the information given:
Weight of talc = 57 g
Volume of lotion = V mL
w/v % = (57 g / V mL) * 100
Once you know the volume of the lotion (V), substitute it into the formula to find the w/v percent strength.
