9% w/v solution has how many g of active ingredients?
my answer was 0.9g
my formula 0.09/1000=90
90/100= 0.9
which answer should of been 90mg
Your formula is correct, but your conversion is not.
9% w/v means 9 grams of active ingredient per 100 mL of solution.
So if you have 1 L of solution (1000 mL), you would have 9 grams of active ingredient.
If you have 100 mL of solution, you would have 0.9 grams of active ingredient.
Therefore, the answer is 0.9g of active ingredients in a 9% w/v solution.
