I wanted to double check how to go about creating a 1% solution and a 4% solution. I know that it is 1 part to 99 and 4 part to 96. so I add 1ml of solution and then water and the same for the four percent. I wanted to know if you also had any good site to understand making percent solutions when starting from different concentrations.
Thank you
If you refer to a 1% and 4% solution in WATER, and the solute is a solid, then 1 g solute and 99 g water is 1%. The link below fives an example of starting with a more concentration solution and making a dilution of that.

That should read, "The link below GIVES an example of etc"
To create a 1% solution, you need to mix 1 part of solute with 99 parts of solvent. Similarly, for a 4% solution, you need to mix 4 parts of solute with 96 parts of solvent. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start by measuring the desired amount of solute. For example, if you want to make a 1% solution with a total volume of 100 ml, you'll need 1 ml of solute.
2. Add the measured amount of solute to a container or beaker.
3. Next, add the appropriate amount of solvent to reach the total desired volume. For a 1% solution with a total volume of 100 ml, you'll add 99 ml of solvent (usually water).
4. Use a stirrer or gently swirl the solution to ensure complete mixing and dissolution of the solute.
For a 4% solution with a total volume of 100 ml, you would add 4 ml of solute and 96 ml of solvent (e.g., water) following the same steps.
As for resources to understand making percent solutions, here are a few websites that can provide more information:
1. Khan Academy's article on Percent Solutions: You can find a detailed explanation of percent solutions, along with examples and calculations, on Khan Academy's website (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/health-and-medicine/chemistry/chem-reactions-and-stoichiometry/a/solution-concentrations).
2. Chem LibreTexts' Guide to Preparing Solutions: Chem LibreTexts provides a comprehensive guide on how to prepare different types of solutions, including percent solutions (https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Analytical_Chemistry/Supplemental_Modules_(Analytical_Chemistry)/Quantifying_Nature/02._Preparing_Solutions).
3. LabChem's Solution Preparation Handbook: LabChem offers a Solution Preparation Handbook that provides useful information on general solution preparation techniques, including percent solutions (https://www.labchem.com/tools/sphandbook/solution.htm).
Remember, it's always essential to double-check the instructions or guidelines provided by your specific experiment or protocol to ensure accuracy and precision while preparing solutions.
