What is the % w/v of 13.2 g of salt dissolved in 264 mL of solvent?
what is 13.2/264?
% w/v = (g solute/mL solution)*100 = ?
To calculate the % w/v (weight/volume), you need to divide the weight of the solute (in this case, salt) by the volume of the solution and then multiply by 100.
First, you have 13.2 grams of salt dissolved in 264 mL of solvent.
Step 1: Convert the volume of the solvent from mL to liters.
Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 mL, you divide 264 mL by 1000 to get 0.264 liters.
Step 2: Divide the weight of the salt by the volume of the solution.
13.2 grams (solute) / 0.264 liters (volume) = 50 grams per liter (g/L).
Step 3: Convert grams per liter to a percentage.
To convert from grams per liter to a percentage, you multiply the value by 100.
50 g/L x 100 = 5000 % w/v.
Therefore, the % w/v of 13.2 grams of salt dissolved in 264 mL of solvent is 5000%.
