Calculate Percent Solution



Formula

To calculate the Percent Solution (PS):

\[ PS = \frac{\text{Solute}}{\text{Solution}} \times 100 \]

Where:

Note that the solute and solution measurements must be in the same unit, i.e., mass or volume.

What is a Percent Solution?

A percent solution is defined as the total percentage of a solution in mass or volume that a solute takes up. In other words, it is the ratio of solute to the solution of a mixture. This metric is commonly used in chemistry and biology to express the concentration of a solution.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PS = \frac{10}{100} \times 100 = 10\% \]

The Percent Solution is 10%.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PS = \frac{20}{200} \times 100 = 10\% \]

The Percent Solution is 10%.
