The percent mass per volume, % (m/v), of a dextrose solution containing 6.50 g of dextrose in 225 mL of solution. What is the percent mass per volume concentration?

Question

the mass is not technically the same as weight, but the abbreviation % (w/v) is often used interchangeably with % (m/v).

Answer 1

%-(m/v) = (g of solute / mL of solution) x 100%

= (6.50 g / 225 mL) x 100% = 2.89%-(m/v) dextrose solution
