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.
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.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PS = \frac{10}{100} \times 100 = 10\% \]
The Percent Solution is 10%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PS = \frac{20}{200} \times 100 = 10\% \]
The Percent Solution is 10%.
