The formula to calculate the Nicotine Percent (P) is:
\[ P = \left( \frac{m}{M} \right) \cdot 100 \]
Where:
Nicotine percent is a measure of the concentration of nicotine in a given sample. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates the amount of nicotine present in relation to the total mass of the sample. This measure is commonly used in the context of tobacco products, e-liquids for vaping, and other nicotine-containing substances. Understanding the nicotine percent is important for consumers and manufacturers to ensure proper dosage and to comply with regulatory standards.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Nicotine Percent:
\[ P = \left( \frac{0.5}{10} \right) \cdot 100 = 5 \% \]
The Nicotine Percent is 5%.
