Weight Volume Percent Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Weight Volume Percent is:

\[ WVP = \left(\frac{W}{V}\right) \times 100 \]

Where:

WVP is the Weight Volume Percent (%)
W is the total weight (g)
V is the total volume (mL)

What is Weight Volume Percent?

Weight Volume Percent (WVP) is a measure of concentration that expresses the amount of a substance (weight) in a given volume of solution. It is commonly used in chemistry and biology to prepare solutions with precise concentrations.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Total Weight (W): 50 grams
Total Volume (V): 200 mL

Step 1: Calculate the Weight Volume Percent:

\[ WVP = \left(\frac{50}{200}\right) \times 100 = 25\% \]

Example 2:

Total Weight (W): 30 grams
Total Volume (V): 150 mL

Step 1: Calculate the Weight Volume Percent:

\[ WVP = \left(\frac{30}{150}\right) \times 100 = 20\% \]
