What Is the Solution Concentration Calculator?
A concentration calculator works out the percentage strength of a solution.
How Does the Solution Concentration Calculator Work?
It divides the solute by the whole solution on the chosen basis and scales to percent, ppm and ppb.
Solution Concentration Calculator Formula & Variables
The core mathematical equation utilized by this calculator is expressed as:
The solute is divided by the whole solution on the chosen basis, then scaled to a percentage.
How to Use the Solution Concentration Calculator
- Choose the basis and enter the solute and total solution amounts.
Step-by-Step Example Calculation
5 g in 100 g
Input Values:
basis:ww
soluteAmount:5
solutionAmount:100
Worked Steps: That is a 5% w/w solution, or 50,000 ppm.
Understanding Your Result
The result shows the percentage, ppm and ppb for the chosen basis.
Factors That Affect the Result
- The solute amount and the total solution amount determine the percentage.
When Should You Use This Calculator?
- Use it for preparing and checking laboratory and medical solutions.
Assumptions & Limitations
- The basis must be stated; w/v and v/v assume ideal mixing.
