Solutions weight/volume percent

For the most part, the label on consumer products does not indicate which of these percent formulas is used. Typically, a volume/volume calculation is used for solutions made from two liquids. Each manufacturer chooses the method of calculating percent that is most suitable for a particular product. An urban legend of yesteryear claimed that the beer in one state had more alcohol than the beer in an adjacent state. The truth was that one state used a weight/volume percent calculation, whereas the other used a volume/volume approach, and the beers were essentially identical in alcohol content. 

Calculate the weight/volume percent solution formed by adding 10 grams of salt (NaCl) to enough water to make 500 milliliters of solution. 

The best deposits of all six insecticides studied—dieldrin, lindane, endrin, dinitrocresol, heptachlor, and DDT—produced 50% mortality with exposure periods of less than 2 minutes (LT50). All mortality estimates were based on a 72-hour post treatment holding period at about 70 °F. and 60% relative humidity. Lindane and dieldrin were the most toxic. One percent solutions produced 50% mortality with less than 2-seconds exposure (Table I). [1% solutions weight/volume lOmg./ml. = 1% this applies to all further references to concentration.] This left little doubt that surface deposits could be made toxic enough by contact to kill bark beetles in nature even though they may be in contact with the bark surface of their host trees for as little as 1 minute or less. 

Weight/volume percent is often used for routine laboratory solutions where exact concentrations are not too important. 

Weight/volume percent is often employed to indicate the composition of dilute aqueous solutions of solid reagents. For example, 5% aqueous silver nitrate often refers to a solution prepared by dissolving 5 g of silver nitrate in sufficient water to give 100 mL of solution. 

Weight titrimetry Synonymous with gravimetric titriinetiy. Weight/volume percent (w/v) The ratio of the mass of a solute to the volume of solution in which it is dissolved, multiplied by 100%. 

Calculate solution concentration in weight/volume percent and weight/weight percent. 

There are 15.0 g of glucose, the solute, and 3.00 x 10 mL of total solution. Therefore, substituting in our expression for weight/volume percent ...

Calculate solution concentrations in units of molarity, weight/weight percent, weight/volume percent, and volume/volume percent. (Section 7.4)... 

In weight/volume percent calculations, the solute amount is always given in grams, and the solution volume is always given in milliliters.

Concentrations of medicinal solutions are sometimes given in terms of weight/volume percent, the mass of solute per 100 ml of solution. The density of dilute solutions is very close to 1 g/mt, so the mass of 100 ml of solution is very close to 100 g. Thus, for solutions of 5% or less, mass percent and weight/volume percent are essentially equal. 

For solutions, however, this concept can be confusing because the units used for the part and the whole are variable. Not only is it common for a solution concentration to be expressed as a volume percent (v/v%) when the solute is a liquid, but it is also cotmnon for the numerator units to be weight units and the denominator units to be volume units (so-called weight/volume percent [w/v%]).

Ethanol formulations of salicylic acid (20 and 30%) are used for combination peeling (see salicylic acid section). Trichloroacetic acid is prepared as an aqueous solution, since ethanol solutions do not penetrate the skin. It is prepared by mixing the appropriate concentration of crystals with up to 100 cc of distilled water. Ten and fifteen percent TCA is prepared by mixing 10 or 15 g of crystals in up to 100 cc of total volume, respectively. Aqueous solutions of TCA remain stable for up to 6 months unless contaminated. Other methods have been used to formulate TCA peeling solutions however, the weight/volume methods appear to be the most reliable formulation [5]. Premixed TCA solutions are available from a variety of medical... 

Effects of allelopathic compounds. To compare the sensitivity of shoot and root length to PSRFW, 25 additional compounds were tested at 2 mH as described in the previous section. Hemp sesbania was harvested at 60 h and barnyardgrass at 72 h. These times were chosen in an attempt to maintain sufficient solution volume during the experiment. Root and shoot lengths, fresh and dry total weights, and percent germination were then determined. TFW was used to determine PSRFW. 

To relate percent by weight to percent weight to volume, we again need to employ the density of the solution. For example, what is the percent by weight of a D5W solution The density of D5W is 1.0157 g/mL. Let s see we need to convert 5.0 g per 100 mL into grams per 100 g. That is, we need to convert the denominator from 100 mL into 100 g. Density is the quantitative relationship between mass and volume. So, let s apply the density as a conversion factor to convert the amount of solution from milliliters into grams. You will find this solution is 4.9% (w/w) glucose. 

Poly-y-benzyl-7-glutamate, M = 300,000 (1 g of solid or 25 mL of 2.5 weight percent solution) ethylene dichloride-dichloroacetic acid solvent (76 volume percent DCA) stored in polyethylene bottle wash acetone. The polypeptide can be obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., P.O. Eox 14508, St. Louis, MO 63178. Check the current Chem. Sources for other suppliers.
