M/V Percent Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the M/V percent (P) is:

\[ P = \left( \frac{m}{V} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

M/V Percent (P): A way of expressing the concentration of a solution, defined as the mass of solute (in grams) divided by the volume of solution (in milliliters), multiplied by 100.
Mass of Solute (m): The mass of the dissolved substance in the solution.
Volume of Solution (V): The total volume of the solution.

Let's say the Mass of Solute (m) is 5 grams and the Volume of Solution (V) is 100 milliliters. Using the formula:

\[ P = \left( \frac{5}{100} \right) \times 100 \]

We get:

\[ P = 5\% \]

So, the M/V percent is 5%.
