danny8522003 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 In what context do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris555 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm sorry, I didn't make that clear at all. I am speaking in terms of solutions. e.g. a 0.4% (w/v) solution. I'm sorry if this still isn't clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny8522003 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 percentage weight for volume - %w/v This means the percent by weight of solute in the total volume of solution. Normally used where the solute is a solid. For example, a 10% w/v sodium fluoride solution would be prepared by dissolving 10 grams of sodium fluoride in 100ml of water.
