Title: Basic Concentration Calculation
Post by: pk333 on January 25, 2016, 01:07:50 PM
how many mg of x to weigh out to make 10 mL of 0.25% solution. 1% w/v = 1g/100 ml. Please explain thanks I struggle with these proportion ones.

Hello and welcome to the forums. Before we can help you you must show an attempt at the problem. It's one of the rules you can read about here (http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=65859.0).

What sort of a problem do you think this is? What equations do you know that can relate mass, volumes, and concentrations?

Is it simply 0.025 grams?

1% solution = 1g/100ml
0.25% solution = 0.25g/100ml= 0.025g/10ml

Sorry I hate these types of problems haha.

Seems right to me.
